Well, a combination of wanting to show off our openess - and the 
mirrormaintainers not wanting to mirror the same quite large repo twice (i.e. 
having inst-source on both ftp.suse.com and opensuse.

Maybe another idea could be to have some kind of link from the ftp.suse.com 
mirrors to the inst-sources on opensuse-mirrors. Not sure if it's technically 
possible.

This is a good idea actually. This would solve the problem with needing two 
different mirrors. Guess it would also be easier for mirror-maintainers to 
comprehend. And at the same time perhaps it would reduce the number of people 
who believe they're using some Linux distro called OpenSUSE (I've never heard 
seen it personally, but a lot of people talk about it ;) ).
