While there are Mirror services that cover the cdimage site, such as the School of Computing at Kent University: https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/

It's a decent mirror for a range of projects.

I notice that even they don't appear to replicate the source directories.

As for the apparent duplication in the directory structure, yes it's confusing and I've always assumed they're symlinks rather than copies, perhaps for tracking point releases (inc. beta) while retaining the initial release.

I’m starting to think that what I had predicted for Ubuntu is happening now.

I predicted that with all of the enterprise stuff they have been doing and pushing along with the Ubuntu Pro subscriptions is that they would do what Red Hat did and stop providing desktop releases, go enterprise only and stop openly providing source code making it proprietary without paying a load of money to use it.

This is starting to worry me if Canonical do what I predicted.
