Seems like something good to research to me. GRP does take up a lot of |

space on the mirrors, not mentioning the fact that it takes a ton of |

time to build. |

Before we do anything, I would like to gather some user input. I |
| 26 |
remember klieber talking about a system that he was setting up that we |
| 27 |
could use to survey users. Kurt, any progress? I don't want to make a |
| 28 |
relatively major change to releases without at least some user input. |
