As one of the people (along with Dave Kristofferson, Roy Smith et al.) who 
set this up initially I'm obviously keen to see it continue.  It is still the 
most net-friendly means to move these data between sites, and we have been 
very well served by the automatic update system.

It is no secret that there have been some issues about it that deserve 
attention.  If there is indeed sufficient interest in maintaining the group, 
then we might discuss how to re-engineer parts of it to deal with some of 
these.
