Right, for the alpha we're just providing these two "mirrors" which are
just static file sets (created by the hackage-security tool for managing
file based repos).

The plan is that for the beta we'll deploy the server side code on
hackage.h.o meaning that the main "smart" server will provide all the
required security metadata.
