Nothing, however the installer only cares about a mirror if you actually
install from one of them. If you install from e.g. CD, you don't have a
selected mirror.

Not really all. Take dhcpd.conf for example. Here the complexity

I think leave this to devs. to decide what they should and what they
shouldn't provide. :)
All we can do is remember
"echo installpath=ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname
