I'm going to contact all mirrors shortly with an update of the new
archive structure and mirror suggestions / sample scripts.

Should I set a date for the namechange, say a week after I send that
mail, and then "mv gcc-3.4 gcc-4.0; ln -s gcc-4.0 gcc-3.4" on that
day? Or should I make a hardlink farm for gcc-4.0 and a week later
replace gcc-3.4 with a link?

What do you think? Any preferences?
