The problem isn't so much the production of the images as much as the
distribution.  Live images use squashfs and thus aren't friendly at all
to rsync.  Which means that the mirrors would have a much higher amount
of churn every day which isn't really feasible.

Not mirroring doesn't really work because it would hurt the bandwidth we
have available.  Torrent-only tests have been done in the past along
these lines, but the number of users was extremely small and then people
complained about not being able to use bittorrent :/
