That assumes that we have ready replacements, which doesn't have to be the
case... in any case that whole use case makes it obvious that my initial
response wasn't correct, too. Whichever procedure is taken to handle
downtime, the important thing is that we hear about it at mirrors@debian.org,
because we need to have things on record in order to be able to make
informed decisions about official mirrors later. One of us there can take it
to the right announcement or admin list then.
