It means a single point of failure for that region: e.g. if the mirror
is stale, everything in that region will hit the same stale mirror, be
them users using apt, or "unrecommended" leaf mirrors of
debian-security.  This makes it harder for an user to work around the
breakage (they would need to use an unofficial security mirror from a
different region as the backup source for security updates).

Well, it is not a common issue, and it will be even less common if
someone manages to implement the staleness check.
