Sorry, I am mirror maintainer (http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/) and I 
don't understand some point of this mail...

First, november 2007 is not so far, probably many people still have SL 3 
installed and working, and they don't have any reason to reinstall all 
computers. Moving tree will break their config.

Well, ok, you want to move tree... But why mirrors which have space should 
stop to provide it ? I am lucky and I still have lot of space on mine. As 
some people at work use SL, I will continue to provide everything.

Such action usually mean "if you don't have space, don't mirror obsoletes tree 
which is not maintains anymore".

Final point, who are "your" mirrors? As one of them, I have not been contacted 
to add any exception on my side.

Regards.
