The 9.2 Canicule trees would need to be on the mirrors as they are because: Those individuals with access to the ISOs ahead of mere mortals <g> will need to be able to add the contrib directories for a lot of software not on the disks; The ISOs won't hold everything in main simply because of space limitations so that needs to be there as well; The SRPMS need to be there so that people with "odd" hardware systems can roll their own. I'm sure there are other reasons too. Just my brief take. BTW there are no hdlist2.cz files on the mirrors so you'll probably have to genhdlist on the full tree to use contribs anyway.
