Hi,

Today I setup test jail on my laptop with head/amd64 and trying to use
pkgng, as I can see we have just one(?) host for pkgbeta.freebsd.org:

pkgbeta.freebsd.org.    3600    IN      CNAME   ftp.dk.freebsd.org.
ftp.dk.freebsd.org.     3600    IN      CNAME   ftp.beastie.tdk.net.
ftp.beastie.tdk.net.    80      IN      A       193.162.146.4

that host doesn't respond 'quickly' (for me):
[tiger at laptop]:~%curl -w '%{time_total}: %{time_connect}
%{time_starttransfer} %{size_download} \n' -s -o /dev/null
'http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org'
18,988: 0,003 18,988 3126 
I have some 'free' resources for mirroring and ready to become official
mirror. 

That host:
* already have full ftp mirror (synced @daily from
  ftp5.ru.freebsd.org)
* available via rsync/ftp/http for everyone 
* have 2x1Gbit interfaces, powered 24x7
* available free disk space 1.4T

In private mail bapt@ wrote "Package beta, is temporary and will be
removed quite soon (I hope)".
So my questions is:
1) when it will be removed?
2) I'm confused...  Is the project does not need more resources ? (5.2
on [1]).
