I had come to that same conclusion, I just hoped that I was wrong. :)

Well that would likely work, the problem is that unless I keep on top of it,
I would miss when new mirrors are added, or bad ones deleted. The solution I
chose instead was to use RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES, which gives me 6/8 odds to
get a site that isn't broken (there are two sites using IPv6 in that list
that fetch doesn't play nicely with).
