I would go ahead and do it and publish the address.  If it becomes 
"official", 
great - if not, those that know how can use it (it's not hard).

Even better would be for you to document HOW you are doing it.  I am getting 
ready to sync all sources of both Sourcemage and the various packages on a 
local file server for my internal machines.  Developing a consistant, proven 
method of doing this on non-SMGL machines would be of benifit to all.
