Looks nice, thanks!
Two comments:
o relative symlinks with '../' are doomed to break on mirrors, as
content is usually split around volumes as needs arise, so I would
suggest to not use any such symlinks.
o mirrors should be prepared for that switch, but currently only core
and extras subfolders are exported to them via rsync. It would make
sense to open up rsync modules (for the mirrors) at the linux
hierarchy as soon as possible, so the mirrors can adjust before the
layout switch. The nice side effect would be that mirrors could use
the same rsync module for mirroring other content, too, like liveos
or epel stuff.
epel is a whole different tree. branched off at /pub/ so your proposal wont
expose epel
