+>  Core Updates Debug
+>  Core Backports
+>  Nonfree Release
+>  Core 32bit Release
+>  Core 32bit Updates

+>  cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/release
+>  cauldron/x86_64/core/updates
+>  cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/updates
+>  cauldron/x86_64/core/backports
+>  cauldron/x86_64/nonfree/release
+>  cauldron/i586/core/release
+>  cauldron/i586/core/updates
+>  ...

+> I think it's better because :

+>  - doesn't have capitals, so easier to type right
+>  - includes version of Mageia, so you can quickly see which version(s)
+>    you're using
+>  - match the paths on the mirrors, so I think it's more clear what the
+>    media is and easier to remember
+> 
+> What do you think ?

+Look also at this one: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2021
+I'am sure we can improve it
