Thanks everybody for the useful discussion here.

I think the right answer for mirror providers is "each person should
do whatever they think is best/easiest" -- that should result in some
diversity, where hopefully there will be some mirrors that can handle
whatever weird situation the censored users find themselves in.

If somebody wants to write a patch for the mirror page:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/plain/docs/en/running-a-mirror.wml
so it says more reasonable things, that would be great.

Thanks!
