I asked the exact same question when a person came on IRC to suggest
this change. I referred to what we did for the SourceForge situation.
But apparently, this CDN thing is less smart than the SourceForge thing
in that it might redirect you to a non-working mirror (i.e it doesn't
check).
However, the person on IRC was also suggesting to do the change for
BR2_GNU_MIRROR, so maybe the case is different.
So, I would suggest to change the default values for now, leave it this
way for a while, and if nobody complains of failed downloads, we can
remove the option completely.
