I can't agree with the "mirrors are free to not mirror this media",
three reasons:
1) I don't see an easy and safe way for mirrors to exclude a media (a
directory + hdlist in media/media_info) in each distribution,
2) I don't know how urpmi can manage this, all medias are described in
only one file, to detect something is missing
(media/media_info/media.cfg).
3) I tried to act as rules that a valid is a mirror containing
everything, to not have to deal with a lot of mirrors style.
Regards.
