My preference would be 4.8-RELEASE and 5.1-RELEASE required, 5-current
not required.  Please keep in mind these are just suggestions, as before
if I'm wrong and these requirements are too strict I'm open to alternative
suggestions.

I'm also very uncomfortable with "retroactively" establishing new rules.
I don't mind applying the new rules "strictly" to new Mirror Site offers
and "less-strictly" to existing Mirror Sites if that seems fair.  You have
all been contributing to the FreeBSD Project and I don't want it to ever
seem like anyone is being ungrateful for that.
