[arch-mirrors] Fwd: Russian Sanctions

[ave]

Without going into too much politics, to my understanding a significant 
chunk of the Russian populace does not support the recent actions of the 
government.

Regarding taking actions past regulatory compliance, I do not think it 
would be appropriate to punish these people by """imposing sanctions""" 
(blocking off russian IPs from our mirrors).

arch.mirrors.lavatech.top will remain available to russian IPs for the 
foreseeable future, unless we're required to by regulations.
