Re: FTP Service Discontinuance Under Consideration; Input Requested

IMO, it would be a tremendous disservice to the community to discontinue support for FTP. Even if the vast majority of traffic is from mirrors, those mirrors are still presumably being used.

HTTP (without extensions) is not a good alternative because it does not reliably facilitate mirroring. rsync is not a standard protocol and is somewhat specific to UNIX-like systems.
