profiles/thirdpartymirrors: add long-term fallback for apache Apache has a mirror network, which only covers the most recent release of any given package. They also have an additional site which does not appear to be a CDN, and is throttled and can maybe ban you if you use it too much. Unfortunately, it is also the ONLY way to actually get historic releases of many packages. Use it because it is the only way to guarantee actual availability. It is now one of 7 possible mirrors -- even though practical implementations of PMS randomly choose the mirror ordering, there's still a great chance this will only be used after another mirror provided any file available on the CDN. In combination with GENTOO_MIRRORS this should ensure that users can actually download software when needed... ... without running afoul of throttling. Maybe. Probably. A proper tiering/priority system would need to be added to PMS if we wanted to guarantee that, but the odds are favorable and users interacting directly with upstream distfiles sites always run some form of potential throttling risk.
