During the last months most mirror problems have been related to
report_mirror reporting that mirrors are up to date and the crawler then
marking the mirror as not up to date. Which resulted in mirrors being
added and removed from the mirrorlist every few hours.
As the crawler normally sees what the user sees, means that
report_mirror often reports the wrong mirror status.
I would like to ignore report_mirror results for non-private mirrors in
the future. For private mirrors report_mirror is the only way to know
which content it has, for public mirrors it is not really necessary as
the mirrors are crawled anyway and report_mirror does not contain enough
information anyway right now.
Any objections to ignore report_mirror reports for public mirrors
after the F29 release.
