I'm well aware of that, this was apparently less clear than I  
intended. Of course QNAP should only provide a mirror for their own  
customers, likewise Synology should provide one for their customers.

QNAP still bundles/supports ClamAV on their recent models, so the  
decency of providing a mirror for their customers still stands. If  
only to make sure that if the updates go haywire because of a  
configuration error on QNAPs part which is pretty much impossible to  
fix for an ordinary user, they will suffer the burden.
