I'm working on pulling from kernel.org, but I just stopped that.  It
appears that a large number of the file timestamps have been updated,
which is causing my mirror to redownload a huge chunk of content (since
I use --delay-updates, I was close to running out of disk space).

If the timestamps have been updated, all the mirrors would be trying to
redownload a large amount of data simultaneously, which could be a cause
of load issues.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
