Mirroring is not a problem as we already have some mirrors available. 

But we need one primary mirror which will be accessible for OZ developers 
as I would like to have few people with possibility to add upgraded 
packages into feeds. One of option to solve it is getting hosting as  
LinuxToGo project.

More important problem is that users have feeds pointed to ewi and during 
first weeks they will complain about missing feeds etc. Our cooperatio 
with users community is not best - lack person for PR or gently user 
helping is too often visible.
