Agreed. Official national mirrors should have enough capacity to
handle the whole distribution; I think that the splitting provided by
mirror.debian.net is not worth the trouble.
Of course other mirrors can split/exclude as they wish; the stricter
demands apply only to the official national ones. These don't need to
be many, so it won't hamper the distribution.
