RE: mirrormanager:
* If we use it, it will delay things by an hour or more while mirrormanager crawls the content and sees that the repo has changed and updates the metalink it serves.
* it would allow us to use a metalink, which is more secure, but if the packages are signed not sure it matters.
* Without mm, we won't be able to tell which mirrors are up to date. Perhaps however we don't care and just point these all to the master mirrors (since it should be short times and limited content).
