Not necessarily. Sometimes what you can do with it so more important. If
we cannot explain why or what a page contains, I think we may need to
remove it. Consider the issue with release mirrors and archive mirrors.

        I want a CD, so we changed the title of release mirror to CD
        mirrors. The page listing those mirrors should state I can
        download an iso and burn a CD
        
        I want fast and close package source. We are want a sentence to
        state that mirrors listed can provide packages for your system
        and many can be be used as deb and deb source providers
