He seemed pretty receptive to speeding it up to something like twice a day, didn't seem to feel it would hit the mirrors much worse. It's possible he may still be waiting on SCC splitting up the base set of arches or the like before revisiting this. (BTW, please note that when I or this proposal talks about the "dinstall run", we're using the circa 1998 definition that includes "mirror sync". The dinstall program itself aready runs every 15 minutes.) -- see shy jo
