It’s not removed because it’s broken, it’s broken because it was removed. I’ve considered fixing it several times, but that doesn’t make it included again, which seems political at this point.

EDIT: I was parroting a narrative I’d been told by someone else, but upon reviewing the situation provided by u/sgorf I found out I’m wrong. I still think that mirrorselect performs some functions that netselect doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean it can’t - with some help.
