I don't see this preference being remembered after the installation
though.

The point of such default would be to not change the server, resulting
in a big load on it.

Such problem prompted archlinux to throttle their main repository
server to force user to choose a mirror more adapted to geographic
situation. OpenBSD solution is to ask the user to choose a mirror at
installation time.
