Actually, running a gentoo mirror myself (il1.rsync.gentoo.org), the way 
gentoo handles the mirrors is to sync the distro several days in advance 
with permissions preventing anyone (except us :-D ) from getting it, and 
then rsyncing just the permission change.

This allows more or less simultaneous release on all mirrors.
