In this subject in #698477 I expressed my will to work with DSA to bring cloudfront.d.n to cloudfront.d.o, so I think it should be possible in not so distant future to have it running as fully flagged and DSA endorsed 2nd CDN for Debian. DSA had some valid points which James rectified earlier today so it really looks like we're on a good track now with this issue. -- |_|0|_| | |_|_|0| "Heghlu'Meh QaQ jajVam" | |0|0|0| -------- kuLa --------- | gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x58C338B3 3DF1 A4DF C732 4688 38BC F121 6869 30DD 58C3 38B3
