Well quick-fedora-mirror shouldn't be doing that, since it checks in
what it mirrors as part of a run. Though I suppose you could
incorrectly set the host it reports as.

Well it does considering that you would then be ignoring the data those
things provide (which does take some effort to produce).

Which is less than what quick-fedora-mirror (or report_mirror) have
access to, and it's also less timely. And then there's the difficulty
in getting that data out of a mirror that only provides http. I'd think
checkins would be the preferred way and the crawler would be a backup
check that the mirror is configured correctly.
Anyway, my point is that if the data are insufficient then it's possible
to fix that. If q-f-m checkins are generally less broken than
report_mirror checkins, then we can make it easy to identify them. But
sure, if the data simply aren't useful at all, then there is no point in
sending them.
