You would loose the ability to fail over to another mirror if something
was wrong with that one URL. A
I don't care. My experience with Debian's setup suggest that, while this
happens, it's rare.
It could reduce the load on FRC - yum could continue to use the one it
has until it does break.
I actually don't think Red Hat can do this; it can't know which Western
Australians should ose WAIX and which should not. Potentially, that
answer can change from one day to the next.
In contrast, FRC doesn't even publish a current list of Australian
mirrors Australians might consider.
