9 If by this you mean that patches should then exist in thirdpartymirrors
10 with a list of servers appended to it, that's not going to fly.
11
12 We adjust rsync mirrors all the time and we need the flexibility to pull a
13 mirror from the rotation without any notice whatsoever. With our low TTLs
14 (20min) on rsync.g.o, we can do this now. If we have to worry about what
15 servers are listed in thirdpartymirrors, it's not going to work.
16
17 So, SRC_URI="patches.gentoo.org/ please. Leave the round robin/load
18 balancing to us.
