Now that it is an automatically generated list, I wanted to ensure
some poor mirror in Australia didn't get stuck with that default first
spot. This will at least force people to make a conscious effort to
uncomment some mirrors.

For most people it won't matter anyway as the file will be installed
as a pacnew.
