Last year was IntelligentMirror, which had misguided goals and
ultimately is not very useful.
This design if implemented properly could possibly upgrade all Fedora
mirrors and make them operate a lot more efficiently. It would also
make it real easy to deploy your own mini-mirror to serve your own local
network. For example, at home I personally would use InstantMirror with
maybe 30GB of cache allocated, but pre-fetching turned off.
