Please forgive my ignorance, but I am not sure how `variant mirror_i386` works.
It exists but is *not* default, so how would it be set by the mirroring
mechanish?
If it is not set, how will `if {[variant_exists mirror_i386] && [variant_isset
mirror_i386]} {` ever run?
It's a hack for sure. The mirroring script mirrors ports with each of
their variants set, so that files only used by certain variants will be
mirrored. In this case, the files are (on i386) also used for reasons
other than the variant being set, so end users don't have to actually
use the variant to benefit from its files being mirrored.
