OK.

Not at all, please do if you, or others, have the time.

Our (clusteradm@ / mirror-admin@) concern is only that there aren't added new mirrors to the list. How the text is generated doesn't matter, and if somebody want to improve / expand the text part of the section that's also no problem at all (in fact, please do :-) ).

As 9.1 isn't available in CVS I wanted to get the mirror list in sooner rather than later, which is another reason I went with the simple "embedded" table instead of generating the docbook.
