While the mirror sites deserve some recognition, I'm not convinced that
that should translate to banner ads on the main portal.

Could we set things up so that when you actually go to a mirror site,
you see some discreet notice about "this mirror sponsored by so-and-so"?

And I'm definitely not happy with reading

on the main site.  That's several shades too mercenary for my taste.
