Distros often have multiple mirrors to serve their repositories, as a single server isn't capable of handling the bandwidth.

A swarm of Rieter instances could automate this process by synchronising their state. If one of the instances receives a new package, it sends it to the other servers. Once they're all ready to commit the package, they commit it at the same time, ensuring their repositories are synchronised.

This technique could also apply to mirroring, allowing a hosting provider to automatically provide multiple mirrors that are managed automatically using Rieter.
