However, the FTP masters are the resident experts in field of 'ftp archive
mainti', ignoring their advice, or simply not soliciting it is probably
not a wise idea in the long run.
That said, this proposal has no meaning without an actual implementation
of 'Package Pools', and none exists yet. However I know of at least 2
efforts to make one, so maybe it should be shelved until one gets
finished? [It is not a trivial problem and it is a huge amount of effort
to implement!]
