Yes, this is expected. Currently the website is not being mirrored due
to it's dependency on a backend database. We are considering different
ways of overcoming this problem in a useful way.

Would one of the ways be to use replication of the main databases? 
There's more than one project around, some of which have been in
contrib/, and _any_ proof to the public that PostgreSQL can indeed be
replicated would be helpful, I'd say.

Bricolage?   i.e. generation of static HTML from a central site that "pushes 
out" to the mirrors.

Well I'm looking at Bricolage for other reasons, but basically that's what
we're doing on the main site, just with our own code.
