I think yes, because the multiple connections, speed controls, etc. In
the future we can add more grained failover, for example, allowing the
user to manually say "this host is a mirror of..." and then aria makes
easy to use this information.

And, as we don't know which hosts have metalinks or not in advance, ZYpp
would have some trouble knowing which backend to use. However, this
could be done per repo (manually).

Do you have anything against it?
