We could have their site be the primary site and continue to use
sourcemage.org as a higher bw mirror. That way life doesnt completely
hang on one server. Of course, distributed version control somewhat
alleviates the "the <scm> server is down" issue.

svn is severly lacking for most of the projects we host, the only reason
we'd use it (IMO) is if we put svk on top of it or just used it for some of
the stuff in //sgl/misc.

Im not sure we really want to start the scm discussion again, theres
simply nothing out there sufficient for our needs or even for two of
our three main projects (grimoire and sorcery).
