No, I don't think so.  Prior to apt learning to cope with a down server
when it comes time to do an update, I was CONSTANTLY having to add and
remove non-us because it was down.

Don't even get me started on the uncoming backlog, that non-us was
supposed to have around the time of the hmm release moved to a
main/contrib/non-free "real soon now", and the host of other problems
we've had with it.

And the biggest rub of all has been that the archive maintainers couldn't
do anything about the problems.  They would have liked to.
