Expected outcome is that none of the changes outlined in this RFC will be noticed by end users or by the services provided under archlinux.org. However, some of the changes in this RFC will be noticeable by the Arch Linux mirror-list administrators as well as the mirror administrators themselves during this process, most notably the creation of a `GitLab`_ account will take some coordination as well as setting up tooling to manage the new mirror spec and database synchronization.
Mirror Specification
-------------
--------------------
A `mirror specification`_ has been created and is hereby proposed as the new standard going forward for new mirror submissions, updating the published mirror information as well as decommissioning mirrors. The specification is a living entity, but is versioned and should aim to be backwards compatible while no such restriction is enforced at this time.
