There's too much history already for my grey cells to sort it all out 
but what seems to be the most pressing problem today is that up2date 
is configured out of the box to use the very same repositories that 
are intentionally bandwidth limited to anyone except repository 
mirrors.  This results in a rather bad taste due to transfer rate and 
dropouts to someone who's expecting to get their box updated in a 
reasonable time.  Unfortunately, this problem is only going to get 
worse as the number of updates increases.  

A question for anyone "in the know": Is this a problem that will be 
addressed either in the near term or should this be something that 
should be entered bugzilla? It's more of a process problem than a 
bug.
