Hi Slávek,

I'm wondering whether we can decouple the web page status from the
redirector.  We could continue to use kuiper and copernicus for the
redirector as they rsync from us independently.

However Tim would prefer that kuiper and copernicus not be publicized
and is asking that the mirror status page show their load balancer
rather than kuiper and copernicus.

Copernicus is currently rebuilding but even before that there were
often distinct differences, e.g. 2461 files difference between
kuiper and copernicus during primary mirror's daily report on June 9th:
