I'm sorry, I was over-brief. My understanding is the same as what you
report here. What I'm saying is that a complaint that SCC is too
heavy to carry should be met with "so don't carry it". We can't solve
every problem. I think separating the ports to a different server
allows mirrors one easy solution. If they want other solutions
(because, say, they want to "carry everything" and then complain that
"everything" is too heavy) then they will need to implement them
themselves.
