No. There are several facets to resolve in the design...

1) Where do custom mirrors go?
2) What if all the mirrors in region X are slow, or update slowly?
3) What improvements does it give to the process of choosing a mirror?

Or to put it another way: what use case is best served by the proposed
tree view over a (say) reliability sorted plain old' list.
