Will that help us? The delay on getting a DNS update is usually 24 hours, and is even longer over a weekend. I'd think it's easier (well, "easier") for us to just change the installers.
Alternatively, do APT and friends play nice with HTTP 301? We could set up http://debathena.mit.edu/ubuntu and http://debathena.mit.edu/debian to redirect to the mirrors of our choice. If debathena.mit.edu is down, installs are pretty much useless anyway.

Geoff will push development to proposed tonight or early Saturday, and encourage SIPB folks to test w20-575-1 through -7. The test cluster should also update over the weekend. On Monday morning, assuming nothing exploded over the weekend, I'll send mail to release-announce and we can push this out to the "early" cluster, and have the public release happen on Thursday.
