Great question.

It's totally easy - such a project can drop a file in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d as part of their devstack plugin before stuff 
gets installed - it just won't have an infra-run per-cloud-region mirror 
to use - but the logic to create a file that points to each cloud 
provider's mirror is also pretty simple and the necessary data is on 
each nodepool node.

In fact, os-ansible-deployment does this already:

https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/master/scripts/gate-check-commit.sh#L62-L93

(the cloud mirrors are probably fine for projects in this situation. 
They're not good enough for the overall gate frequency which is why 
we're spinning up our own designed-for-gate versions - but when you're 
not running 10k builds a day against them, the failure rate on the cloud 
mirrors is totally acceptable)
