There is a distfiles whitelist[1] for this exact purpose...isn't there?

Thanks for the heads up. I was not aware of this when I was looking for a
solution badly back then. Must be a rather recent development. Looks easy
and straightforward - even deleting is possible. Good job, guys :)
Still the developer needs to know about it and think of it in the moment of
adding mirror restrictions to an ebuild with mirror://gentoo sources. A
risk that is not going to be taken in any of my ebuilds.
I agree it could use a bit more...Preaching. I think the innards of
really how our mirroring system works is lost on some people. They know
the abstraction; "it's automated and does X,Y,Z" but they don't really
know how it all works.
