It doesn't include all the architectures, actually in the beginning it
only had amd64 and i386. Right now, we are discussing the possibility
of expanding the mirror to include disc images and maybe some more
architectures, but still it won't be a "full" mirror.
If you want to discuss the technicalities of the mirror and decisions
behind it, we should move it to -mirrors and continue there, as it may
be an interesting debate for more people than in -publicity. Otherwise
I'll believe you are unhappy with the wording, which incorrectly
suggests this being *the* mirror for Romania, which is not true, indeed.
I won't have any objection against a patch or wording suggestion. The
main intention was to have a commercial entity which was using Debian
since its beginning listed here, and not to advertise the mirror
(note that I didn't even put its URL in the text).

I believe we could happily accept some hardware donations, thus
enabling us to set up a complete mirror and showing there is enough
local interest in this subject.

I never said anything about hosting a primary mirror or being the
target for ftp.ro.debian.org. I really think we should move this either
on -mirrors or private, since I can't find any issue related to the
-www team (and maybe add the mirror's admin in Cc if the thread tends
to grow).
P.S.: I honestly don't understand why people keep Cc-ing other people
when writing on lists, even if nobody asks for it. As I said in my
previous mails, I really am subscribed and receiving duplicates.
