What do you mean by "core archives server"? Isn't that what (us.)debian.org
is, and what I'm referring to? Despite whatever the ping times are with
debian.org (when I was using i386 I was using a faster mirror too), it
doesn't have pauses in transfers like alioth has. Alioth appears overloaded,
and moving pure64 over to the main debian.org, even while still in an
unofficial status, would help alioth.
So is it finally time for "The Mother of All Forks"? :) Brother Server
Debian, meet sister Desktop Debian, your biological twin, she's not as strong
as you are, but she's a hell of a lot prettier. :)
(Note the use of fork above is merely for humor, in reality a split of Debian
would more resemble a "corporate reorganisation" than a "fork". There would
I believe be very little, if any, forking of computer code at all.)
