Of course one can.  In the case of mirrors that are seldom or never
updated, in fact, we should.

I have been disturbed for a long time by the ease with which a mirror
can arrange to be listed in mirrors.html.  We don't know what most of
these mirrors are, in any strong sense, nor who runs them, nor what their
intentions may be.  Yet we even give many of them names in netbsd.org.

That should not be so.  There should be clear standards for mirrors to
be listed in that file, and when we learn that mirrors don't meet them,
we should remove them from the file.
