This is a feature, as people did not want oe-core tied to a given mirror.

Myself, I use:

PREMIRRORS ?= "\
bzr://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
cvs://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
git://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
hg://.*/.*    http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
osc://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
p4://.*/.*    http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
svk://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
svn://.*/.*   http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n"

MIRRORS =+ "\
ftp://.*/.*    http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
http://.*/.*     http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n \
https://.*/.*    http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/sources/ \n"

PREMIRRORS are tried before the upstream source, MIRRORS are tried only after a
failure.  (Please correct me someone if I have that wrong.)
