Patches welcome. :-)  I knew I hadn't put any protection around the
deletion commands.

   Hi!
   I was just checking our mirror, when I found out that a colleague
broke 
my rsync-scripts a while ago without me noticing :-(  Repair was easy,
but 
now I have to pull a lot of updates all at once, including FC9. Oh well.
   Anyway, this is not the reason for this mail. I was checking which 
mirror manager which parts of our mirror had remained up to date, when I

clicked on the 'delete' link of one of the categories by mistake. I was 
rather surprised that there was *no* safety check at all for this 
operation. Ok, it is easy to recreate the category, but it is still a 
nuisance. Maybe a pop-up with something to the effect 'Are you sure
really 
sure about this?' would be helpful, as would moving the 'delete' link a 
bit further away from the normal link. Any opinions?
   As a further idea for enhancement, what about a (configurable)
warning 
email, when the webcrawler notices something going stale/out of sync?

   Cheers from a sunny Cologne,
