I agree that you need to do it with a "run once (in a blue moon?)" script that
helps you select an appropriate host site. But for now, we can leave that to
"manually select a good site"

Here is a patch that I suggested to John the last time this came up.
Rather than patching the supfiles, I "patch" my local `make` configuration.
Just having this in the code might help steer users to a different site.

If we can get most users off of "cvsup.FreeBSD.ORG", we could change that DNS
CNAME to point the underutilized site of the week.
