The mirrorlists returned to yum do use geoip plus other heuristics (e.g. if there are fewer than 3 mirrors in a country, return the global list). So we're good there. The web pages under /publiclist don't though. They do list the country a mirror is in, but they list all the mirrors, currently 194. :-) Maybe it's too long a page for people to crawl through to find their country; I'm open to page design suggestions. But I don't want to keep per-country static pages for these; I do per-country per-repo static text files for the yum mirrorlists as a backup, and there are nearly 4300 such files. I don't want to duplicate all that again for the /publiclist pages...
