What I meant (and probably Mr. Ichihara too) was to have the mirror(s)
added to the baseurl= line in the repo file (sl-release). That's what
SL users in Japan are editing so that they can get to the sites within
Japan. They (users in .jp) also need to manually install the fastest
mirror plugin to take advantage of this. So, my wish to see this
plugin installed by default. :)
