This is a real source of frustration to me. The TSC voted against having
any mirror sources in its out the box configuration for OE-Core itself.
If you use angstrom or Poky you wouldn't see this since they configure
source mirrors out the box.

I stated at the time I thought this was crazy and making life
unnecessarily hard for users. I was outvoted. I still think having more
default mirrors in OE-Core might be a good idea but its going to take
representation to the TSC to change that.

Cheers,
