Official mirrors ? I'd be willing to lobby for a starship (and python.org ?)
mirror at XS4ALL (dutch ISP, where I work, so it shouldn't be too hard to
arange) but it kind of depends on the needs for the starship website --
having different platforms it runs on might screw up the scripts that run
there. Would having a data/webpage only mirror be sufficient ?
