As far as I know, *official* mirrors have always had unrestricted
access through a different (confidential) sup port.  They don't
compete with users for connections.  We certainly did at
ftp.iastate.edu (but we only mirrored, we didn't serve sup
connections).  Sup mirrors should be up to date by now if they were
configured correctly to begin with.
