Research direction

Start by tracing the release-upgrade path that selects or resets mirrors; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Compare the configured mirrors before and after an upgrade, and consider the work complete when the existing mirrors are preserved and the upgrade path is covered by an appropriate test.
