Here's the scenario: you have hundreds/thousands of people behind a 
caching proxy.  They don't know each other, they don't know what OS 
distribution someone else is installing and the ones that happen to be 
installing Fedora aren't going to know what mirror someone else chose or 
got by accident.  Likewise for the proxy - it's not going to know/care 
that there are a bunch of different mirrors for different stuff that an 
assortment of people might or might not want at the same time.
