There are no favorites. Yum mirrors also get the same treatment. By the way, being geographically close does not a fast or reliable mirror make. Been there with the mirrorslist.
Also, one of the reasons for third party repositories not being list is that many were not ready for/sync'ed to the core release. For example, Plannetccrma fell off my apt repository list after FC2 came out. The site never seemed to be ready for the next Fedora release.
