If I understand correctly, Fastly supports us using our own domain for
these URLs. I'm not worried about the breakage because all that
traffic is already new, since the URLs switched from the JFrog one to
the current one. Now that we can have boost.org URLs for this, it
would be nice.

the meeting next Wednesday.
