The load isn't insignificant. That and the people providing hosting for |

dgo mind quite heavily when we use dgo as a distribution point. Add |

Think about what the load would be for, say, any KDE patches for the 4 |
| 14 |
hours between a new KDE going into the tree and the distfiles mirrors |
| 15 |
picking up the files. |
