Yes, I am quite aware of it, but I am merely the messenger. Until
other subversion mirrors are made available in other parts of the
world, only the two in the US are available. I'm sure that will change
in time, but for the moment, only the two US mirrors have been
announced.

For now, if it is not clear which is closer, you can ping to see which
has the faster response. In my case, us-west is about 20 ms away while
us-east is 100. If you have a well connected server in another part of
the world, I assume the project would be happy to have another mirror
made available. Note that the full repository is quite large. There
are clearly security issues, too.
