Yeah, we could, but I'd much prefer to use the mini-mirrormanager -- 
then we don't have to touch the config files again, which is important 
for those people that don't do .rpmnew-files cleanups on their systems

I'd consider to actually delete that page, as the contents might be more 
confusing than helpful -- we can still grab the current version from the 
wiki history if we need the data.
