Yep.
In checking the documentation I saw that it was recommended we switch
to
using quick-fedora-mirror, so I made that change, but even
quick-fedora-mirror can't check in with the same error:
Mirrormanager checkin for fedora-enchilada did not appear to succeed.

error checking in
The documentation
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring) does not say
anything about being barred from using report_mirror or the checkin
functionality if your mirror isn't private. My understanding was that
report_mirror was previously encouraged for all mirrors. Should we
permanently disable checkin and rely only on the crawler?
Yes. We disabled all checkins from non private mirrors a while back.
It was not helpful, and sometimes mirrors would get in a state where
they were checking in (and being marked up to date), then the crawler
would see that they are not and disable them. Repeat. :(
So, there did not seem to be any advantage to non private mirrors
reporting in, the cralwer should mark them just fine.
Of course private mirrors do have to check in because we have no way to
crawl them.
