The problem is with the discussion package. Allowing people to contribute
to the discussion at both sites generates a synchronization nightmare.
Forwarding such request from the mirror site to the main site is also a bit
tricky (all links from the generated page have to point to the mirror site,
despite being generated on the main one)...

That's what I meant.

They have. And they more or less offered to let us use it.
