shouldn't we be pointing at http://www.cpan.org and let the cpan multiplexer pass us to an appropriate mirror anyway? That would be a sensible default, and if your site wants to use a specific or a local mirror, you can always reconfigure later.

When you install a binary package, though, it seems reasonable that the packager would have enough info to provide at least a minimal canned CPAN.pm config, the exception being which mirror to use.
