I think I would also prefer a list of available repositories over a
hard-coded choice.  It may be that some places (say, Australia) have
better bandwidth to one over the other, and users will be able to have a
better experience with certain mirrors.

While I'm sympathetic to the idea of referring to kernel.org because
it's open-source and non-profit, users outside of North America are
likely to have a less stellar experience with its mirrors, since they're
all in North America.

I'm a bit worried that I'll come across as some kind of annoying pedant,
but git.kernel.org is actually 6 different systems available in US,
Europe, Hong Kong, and Australia. :)

We use geodns to map users to the nearest server (I know, GeoDNS is not
the best, but it's what we have for free).

Thanks for an update---it is nice to make those who are discussing
this topic to be aware of these facts.  Very much appreciated.
