What does someone get out of DDOSing a project like this? What even is the motive

Cloudflare already mirrors Arch and Debian ( https://cloudflaremirrors.com/ ) maybe they could help with Ubuntu too (might as well toss Fedora in there haha) Edit: Facebook mirrors a lotta distros: https://mirror.facebook.net/ also I just realized it's a DDoS on the Canonical security API and ISOs not the packages, but I suppose those could be mirrored somehow
