[NOTE] current-release downloads now served via CDN rather than mirror system

[Robbie Gemmell <ro...@gmail.com>]

For anyone, particularly release managers, that didnt spot previous
blogs etc [1] ...

Note that once a new release is published to the dist area, you wont
need to wait e.g up to a day anymore for it to sufficiently mirror
before then updating the site and announcing.

The current-release downloads are now being served via a CDN instead
of the previous mirroring system. As a result you'll only need to wait
for the release files to hit the CDN (dlcdn.a.o currently). Mails
elsewhere suggest it should be ~15 minutes.
