Let's be clear here: repository mirrors are repository clients are two
different things. For one thing, mirrors to be equal to one another in
permission whereas clients tend to have less control. One would expect
mirrors with read/write access to fall under the guise of the same trusted
organization, or else how do you prevent someone from checking in random
junk into the FreeBSD repository using one of the mirrors? Point being, if
all mirrors are equal, then they should respect each other's obliterate
commands.
