Yeah, we talked about a while back changing things so that ibiblio
would just use our download-ib01.fedoraproject.org mirror that is there
instead of having their own separate one. 

We have download-ib01.fedoraproject.org in service now, but we never
completed the process on making it the default there. Should we do so
now?

Steps I see: 

* Make sure distro.ibiblio.org is disabled in our mirrormanager. 

* add network blocks or ASN's that we would like to direct to
  download-ib01.fedoraproject.org to download-ib01's mirrormanager
  record. 

* Remove files/disable syncing on distro.ibiblio.org and add a README
  or redirect to download-ib01. 

download-ib01 doesn't carry the 'archive' repo anymore, but otherwise
it should be pretty much in sync and ready to use.
