Specifying them in GENTOO_MIRRORS will simply mess up portage as they'll tell portage to try them for gentoo packages too, which will mean a lot of waiting while gentoo erroneously tries to fetch files from servers that will never have them. So having a location-specific subkey for each class of mirrors, and having a priority within each class of mirrors, so that users can just specify their location and the fetch system uses an appropriate mirror for each mirror class, that'd be great. -- Kent
