I heard something about rsync access to kernel.org...

Is that possible and if it is, how and why?

I can envision a nice script using finger and rsync
without any FTP quota hassles or other troublesome
stuff. Of course, server-pushed rsync is even better
because that way we avoid the polling and make the
process more efficient and faster...

cheers,
