Indeed. Hopefully this is the last instance of a typo going into
production. Wrong links have a cost: compare with losing bitcoins,
related to the namespace; multiple links to the same resource is Bad™.

So even if auto.mirrors exists, you shouldn't use it nor rely on it, and
consider it doesn't exist. The link might be removed in the future, so
if you're currently using mirrors with an s, use mirror instead.
