[arch-mirrors] Fwd: Russian Sanctions

This is my current thinking, as gov can evade geo restrictions easily
enough. Ours are temporarily closed pending a reply back from a lawyer but
I expect them to re-open. Big question is the banks and businesses being
called by name. If they come back and say we have to cut service (which
happens at our router level, rather than the mirror level) I'm going to see
if we can ACL to just the ASNs of the named businesses rather than general
region.
