Those mirrors should be identified and removed from the mirror lists. 
Yum should be able to report to some entity about a problem mirror. 
Sure, not automatically but after someone in Fedora rel-eng reviews the 
reports. Perhaps ask the user when an error occurs: Do you wish to 
report a problem?

Reportable reasons:
1) performance issues (high latency)
2) dependency errors
3) missing files

Possibly more. Most of all I'm tired of hitting a high latency mirror 
and the only way around it is to add it to my /etc/hosts file as 
localhost so that it will error and go on to a faster mirror.
