My memory is hazy on this, but after the move, what's the policy on
enabling users.kernel.org or userweb.kernel org or some other user web
serving thing? I vaguely remember that we don't want to do this anymore
but I'm not sure.

In any case, if we do, it would probably be better to have a whole
different machine for such stuff and let users upload their stuff again
without touching the old backups at all...

Hmm.
