I agree something needs to be done here, and appreciate the offer, but
I'm afraid it's one that we can't accept. I'm sure your hosting is
perfectly adequate, but hosting for tools that millions of people use
(or at least have on their systems) requires a high level of trust. The
trust just isn't there. I'm sure you're perfectly trustworthy, but we
don't know you. I've been hoping to get space on kernel.org or, failing
that, sourceforge. These sites are accepted nearly universally as
trustworthy, and have gobs of bandwidth as well as extensive mirroring
and backup facilities.

I have space on opensuse.org that I could offer up, but I don't think
that's the right solution since the hosting site should be distribution
agnostic. Unfortunately, with namesys.com now, I fear that opensuse.org
may have become the de facto location to obtain reiserfsprogs (v3) sources.
