I can poll a file on openqa.opensuse.org and do a factory-tested snapshot
when it contains the content of /factory/repo/oss/media.1/build - this is 
really peanuts.

What's not peanuts: this is several GB more to host and mirror. Not a big 
problem on our own hosts, but for wider use you may want to convince mirror 
admins to mirror it too. But that might come from itself when it's a good 
solution.

Greetings, Stephan
