I think the risk of confusion here is highly overstated. Remember that all mirror sites are donated to Debian: the hardware, the bandwidth, the hosting, and the sysadmin work to keep it running. We don't want to make it difficult to donate this kind of stuff to Debian. Requiring the donators to set up their servers in particular ways makes it harder to do that. I'd rather risk the tiny chance of people being confused than people not running Debian mirrors for us. Besides, if someone is confused, that's an excellent opportunity to talk to them about what Debian actually is. -- I want to build worthwhile things that might last. --joeyh
