[db-wg] Mirroring of LEVEL3 database

Hello around,

does anyone besides me consider the Level (3) IRR database useful 
to be mirrored? I can find the Level(3) data on whois.ra.net but 
I would like to continue using whois.ripe.net.

I understand the db admins position but I consider this source 
valuable. I have no statistics on the number of objects - I just 
happen to meet source LEVEL3 now and then.
