During the last months most mirror problems have been related to report_mirror reporting that mirrors are up to date and the crawler then marking the mirror as not up to date. Which resulted in mirrors being added and removed from the mirrorlist every few hours.
As the crawler normally sees what the user sees, means that report_mirror often reports the wrong mirror status.
I would like to ignore report_mirror results for non-private mirrors in the future. For private mirrors report_mirror is the only way to know which content it has, for public mirrors it is not really necessary as the mirrors are crawled anyway and report_mirror does not contain enough information anyway right now.
Any objections to ignore report_mirror reports for public mirrors after the F29 release.
Seems reasonable to me. Perhaps we could output this info when such a mirror reports in? ie, "you are a public mirror and we are ignoring report_mirror data for you, please see https://... for details"
