No, but as the default $loc in obmtool.conf points to the current
working directory, obmtool.conf has to be edited anyway, if someone
wants to use this feature. So there is no user visible change in the
behaviour of the default configuration.

It will be possible to copy the URL in obmtool.conf to a webbrowser
and use one of the URLs on the resulting page for $URL. This has to
be documented somewhere (maybe directly in obmtool.conf).

Of course this is not optimal, but obmtool needs to handle a list of
mirrors in one or the other way in the future, as other posters
suggested.
