Yeah, and I'm seeing some crawlers, but nothing even I would call high
load, much less what something like cvsweb or anonhg would...even
though I have, from a Web client's perspective, *lots* of source trees,
including many (slightly different) NetBSD source trees.

Makes me wonder what the relevant difference is.  Border router blocks?
Lack of HTTPS support?  They don't recognize the interface I present?
They just haven't noticed me yet?
