You mean, for Factory?

For /distribution and /updates, we actively redirect to that mirror. I
added shortly before 11.1 release, after I found them.

For Factory, we will try to take a new approach on distributing it,
because it would benefit from a triggered or push mirroring. That would
be superior in updating mirrors quickly, compared to periodical pulling
done by the mirrors. When we try to establish this, we'll have to
contact mirrors and see which mirror is interested. Putting xmission.com
on my mental list of mirrors to ask for mirroring Factory :-)

Thanks for mentioning them.
