Currently we have a good, solid mirror infrastructure. I can expect
to find one or more full, up-to-date mirrors in my country or a
neighbouring country, and I don't even have to look them up --
I just try ftp.*.debian.org, possibly ftp1.*.debian.org, where
the * is a country code.
You propose to fragment that and make users play hunt-the-right-mirror
every time they configure apt. For what benefit?
