There's a server rotation in effect? Shit, spinning servers - next they'll
be spewing pea soup! :)
TBH the only impact if you upload something to beo and don't tell anyone is
that the mirrors won't catch up - I manually update deouk from beo (via my
adsl) and planetmirror updates via rsync daily from deouk. It will get
better. Promise :)

I personally didn't see the point - I was stupid enough to upload opera 7b1
:)
I think the best thing to do is from now and forever when there's a major
browser release (or prerelease), put a note on the beo front page saying
"hey, great new browser, download it from the vendor, and it'll be on beo in
a few days/weeks/months" to prevent serious bandwidth abuse.
That's my initial thoughts anyway.
