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.
