Well, to jump sides here :-), if you are planning on going to the FC2
version of up2date (instead of tracking RHEL), the only way to get the new
comments for the mirror system into the sources file would be to replace
it.  I took a look at the RHEL Update beta version's sources file and it
doesn't seem that the mirror code made it there.
