From http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html:
"The current policy requires mirrors listed on this page to provide at
least the last two releases in binary form (currently 3.9 and 4.0),
as well as the OpenSSH/, OpenNTPD/, OpenBGPD/, patches/ and tools/
directories. Note that in the above, "release" means all files under
the specific directory (e.g. 4.0/). This includes all architecture
subdirectories and the complete packages subdirectory, with packages
or all application architectures."
Depending on the disk space available, mirrors may provide more
contents, such as snapshots, older releases, current source tree, etc"

So I (and I'm not a OpenBSD commiter) do not think that this mirror
should be listed on ftp.html.

hth,

Marcus.

P.S. Furthermore /pub/OpenBSD instead of /openbsd would be a nice 
     to have.
