I have to agree. And it is a cache. It's neither an upstream nor a
mirror of upstream or even something like LOCAL. Yes, we have the SHA
sums to help protect us from potential security issues and yes it's nice
to "just fix it". But the MASTER_SITES are used by other things such as
portscout, so just picking a random location isn't ideal.

What really needs to be done is to find proper upstreams if they exist
and use them or deprecate the ports if not. Look at the python ones for
example, they're easily found in pypi. Can't we please do that?
