Just to chime in I also just want to get it done (well, I can handle SVN as well :P). I trust Joseph, too, but then from my POV anything not worse than the current mirror works for me. Thanks to Maxim anyway for all the work - without that we'd not switch in 10 other years... Btw, "consensus" among the quiet doesn't usually work and "consensus" among the most vocal isn't really "consensus". I think GCC (and FOSS) works by giving power to those who actually do the work. Doesn't make it easier when there are two, of course ;) Richard.
