It would have been nice if this had been discussed with the people who
have volunteered significant resources over the past nearly two
decades to support FreeBSD by operating mirrors.  Say, the ones on
this mailing-list, perhaps?  Rather than just a peremptory "thanks but
we don't need you any more"?

It may very well be the right thing to do, but it certainly doesn't
come over well, particularly when (as in my case) people have just
recently put substantial new resources into their mirrors.
