Though I think the flexibility of having an option for multiple source 
files to have mirrored sources, I agree that the number of use cases is 
probably very small.

I do love how simple that would be. If the end result of this proposal 
is this simple solution, or one slightly more complex one that supports 
multiple sources with mirrors, I will be satisfied either way. The only 
extra argument I would make in favor of supporting multiple mirrored 
sources is that it seems odd to allow a special case only for one source 
file. Wouldn't it be more less hacky and more standardized if PKGBUILDs 
treated source files as equal?

All the best,
