   > Ok. Are you saying that setting the defualt-mirror property only has an effect when fetching and not when tracking?
   
   In practice the effect is that the `default-mirror` will be observed *last* when tracking and *first* when fetching.
   
   There is not much control as to what URIs should be accessed in `bst-1` which should be changing presently in master after merging #1537 (see the [proposal](https://lists.apache.org/api/source.lua?id=1w3s72q4yf23rx0yc57tw0lf94q3g5bj) this is implementing for a better overview of what this branch does).
   
   By itself, the above branch should address this problem in a way that is flexible for different projects' workflows, but this raises the question as to whether we should also revert this list reversal in master, as this additional control removes the need for reversing the lists (which in *general*, ensures that we consult upstreams before local mirrors when tracking, ensuring that we get the bleeding edge as expected when we track).
