Re: Mirrors not allowing Directory Listings

[Hasan Berkay Çağır <berkay@cagir.com.tr>]

I'm also in favor of directory listing enabled mirrors; however IMO it 
could be problematic for countries with too few mirrors (or even a 
single one) if pointing "official" names becomes dependent on directory 
listing.

Best,
Berkay
