I think it's correct to place the pre-release snapshots at the release 
level in the directory tree, I'd just like to see the loop closed so that 
they are in fact mirrored.  It seems that if the directory is 
world-readable it should be mirrored.  It certainly would make it a lot 
easier for people to pick them up and use them.  I never got a response 
from Todd when I asked him about this via e-mail, so I thought I'd bring 
it up here in response to Steve's snapshot announcement.

Guess I'll just read up on rsync with ssh this weekend and see if I can 
convert from sup, although sup has the advantage of running for people 
who don't have accounts on NetBSD.
