If those people end up being exactly the same admins who use to be
official mirrors....
Explain to me.. in very small words... from a mirror admin
perspective... why exactly they should choose to stagger their
release.. instead of just going rogue, grabbing a torrent and
producing a mirror from that and forsaking 'official' status?

You better make damn sure the official mirror admins are interested in
staggering, before you suggest it as a policy. Because if there is one
very good way of causing a worse mirroring bottleneck it is to have
mirrors choose to drop out of the official list.
