Apparently, I was mistaken on how this works. |

Anyway, who is going to re-write our mirroring scripts so that we aren't |
| 12 |
stripping stuff anymore? After all, we're still "shipping" 1.2 ISO |
| 13 |
images under /historical, and I can guarantee you that the source code |
| 14 |
for all of this stuff isn't available from us. Good examples of this |
| 15 |
are packages that no longer merge due to missing distfiles when using a |
| 16 |
release's portage snapshot instead of a current tree. This happens |
| 17 |
every release, so I know that we aren't keeping all of this stuff. |

We will need to work on compliance ourselves with this, before the FSF |
| 20 |
comes knocking on our door. |
