13 other aspects that havent been covered so far:
14 - we need mirrors to distribute the load, and people willing to create rsync
15 mirrors are much easier than git
16 - along those lines, simplicity ... very easy to bring up a rsync mirror, and
17 the people maintaining our mirrors are familiar with it
18 - load on the system is higher with git than rsync (at least cpu wise), thus
19 we need beefier machines to handle the same # of clients
