We did talk briefly about naming conventions for cloud infrastructure,
so this is a nice tie into that conversation, which hopefully we can
have now. Regarding this particular cloud instance, I also do not see
the point in having it under d.o. if it is not for external connections.
Perhaps once an internal consensus is reached on the naming convention
this cloud instance could follow suit.

As we now have "debian.mirrors.debian.org", I would think about
"$vendor.mirrors.debian.org" and, if they really want to mirror debug,
also "debug.$vendor.mirrors.debian.org".  But I'm open to suggestions.

Separately I do like idea of $vendor.mirror.d.o. as it shows who the
sponsor is and subtly indicates the mirror is not a Debian
owned/operated mirror.

$type.$vendor.mirrors.d.o looks good on paper but could get out of hand
considering we have ports, backports, etc...
