* If you're talking about the concept of letting the user pick which
* country/net he is in and then get a set of local mirrors prepended, I
* disagree. That's a good concept - it makes it easy for a user to get
* a reasonable setup. I don't believe most users will take the bother
* of overriding without it - but they will get a more pleasant system
* with overriding. Good advertising.
(1) What part of that can't be accomplished by a couple extra
sentences in the comment above MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?
(2) Many of the mirrors don't carry distfiles, or have incomplete
sets. Hiding the list from the user (I'm assuming make.conf is
visible and bsd.*.mk are not) is just plain wrong.
