[arch-general] pacman mirrorlist update

[Francis Gerund]

Okay, thanks guys.

I will continue to do:

sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p http --sort
rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

frequently, and then update (very frequently) as usual, by:

sudo pacmatic -Syyuv

And I will delete etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew, RSN.

I don't know what the purpose of the pacman-mirrorlist -20150618-1 update
was. Maybe the idea was to encourage people to "freshen up" their
mirrorlist more often.

But since that seems to require manually merging from
etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew,
might that be counterproductive?  I am not saying it's wrong - just a
thought.
