It's not as unstable as you make it sound. They have announced this switch over several months ago. You should rather blame me for only fixing the CPAN mirror, not the Gnome mirror file. In the meantime, you can use "fink configure" to switch to another Gnome mirror. Fixed in CVS of Fink, will be in the next Fink release.
