I think this comes down to the amount of storage it takes and the amount we
have available.

TBF I don't believe this is anything to do with mirror manager at all, the
fact is a lot of mirrors just don't hold rawhide or don't update it daily
so they're at times out of date. Secondary arches have similar issues
regarding those sorts of problems because there's a lot less mirrors of
those.
