It used to be that way. The reason we do no that do that now is that
defaulting to ftp.xemacs.org is a good way to kill that server. We
want to force people to think about choosing a mirror. If you are
using the Menus then "Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site" is
the top menu item.

P.S. This is not some theoretical concern. It really happened for the
Debian people when their new package retrieval tool (in an unreleased
alpha) had 1 site in its example configuration.
