And we shouldn't
be exposing users to the public mirror list? I disagree, especially
during release time people need to figure out which mirrors work (many
of them get overwhelmed) and the public list is kept fairly accurate
because of its checks and when a user gets to a mirror that is too slow
for them, they can take a closer look.
This shouldn't be the primary interface. Users should be able to select
the spin, type of media or installation, arch and region and get a url
to ISO directly. Only if you opt to see the mirror list should you be
shown that. The idea behind that is to not confuse users with a long
list of mirrors and users wouldn't have to know the mirror structure to
figure out the right location either.
