i've used RESTRICT=mirror in the past when the files were really large (like 
games or toolchain source tarballs) and upstream already had a good mirroring 
system.  in both cases, there was no binary redistribution restrictions.

so my answer would be no: we have two independent knobs and let's keep them 
that way.
