In an Enterprise, I don't like having to rely on all the developers to
have all their repo settings done correctly. It's much easier to manage
a group of repositories (accessed via a single url) from the proximity
side where I have control, I can change the settings and add new repos
and have to roll out to an entire organization.

That said, Nicolas' change is really an entirely new feature. The
current code (and my proposal/patch) are about selecting a defined
mirror based on a set of rules. What Nicolas' has is really a
transformation of the mirror url that should be done after selection
(not mixed in with). I think they can fit together, but it should be
well defined and documented if we're adding it. I personally think that
the whole mirror section needs to be revisted in 2.1 to add a way to
really bind in a repo manager and to allow profiles in the settings to
control it.
