Not as a standard. Thinking out loud, what we roughly want is: -users can choose any mirror explicitly. -on the first run, setup lists the servers in their 1/3 of the world (say europe, asia, americas) and randomly chooses one from there, letting them alter the choice, or click something to see the entire list. -when we implement this, setup treats it as a watershed event on existing installs, and displays a little explanation and consider 'first run' to be occuring.
