I agree that the lack of debug info is sucky. Is this something that can
be fixed with a yum update, or is the fastestmirror plugin distributed
separately?

Hmm, do you know if yum does the mirror selection on a per-file basis or
once for all the downloads for a particular repo during a particular
session?

Out of syncedness should only really be an issue for rawhide... Maybe
Updates as well to some extent, but updates doesn't churn nearly as much
and is more likely to be in sync between mirrors.
