How do you resolve a conflict between the language and mirror
setting?  It isn't obvious from the interface that conflicts are
possible.  Second, different users will have different
preferences for how such a conflict should be resolved.  You have
to give the user a way to specify preferred resolution at which
point you have a complex interface that achieves exactly the same
result as the single mirror list.
