I had a feeling one of the mirrors would raise this point eventually.
Basically, it was done this way because it is easy. Putting projects
Debian^H^H^H^H^H^HSPI sponsors inside the Debian web directory means
they automatically get mirrored with Debian. The gnome pages were only
about 17MB last time I checked (although they do seem to make a lot of
changes every day).
I would prefer it if all the projects were inside of the spi pages
since this more accurately reflects the political situation. Although
as a practical matter, it is really Debian people that are sponsoring
the projects.
I just checked and it appears that none of the Debian sites are listed
as web mirrors of gnome. Anyone have an idea who originally wanted us
to set this up?
