/me sheds a small tear. That was a clever hack in the days before ubiquitous 1Gb+ connections and when so many supporters were on Internet2. I agree it's no longer meaningful. Thanks for recognizing the bitrot and excising it!

Sounds like a really good plan to me, especially around removing complexity in the mirror selection. I cannot
think of any reason the removal should adversely affect users at this point since as you said, the routing
information is not exactly available anymore.
I would be interested if there are any mirror admins that are using Internet2 that would be able to comment on
the health of I2 in 2022.

Let me know if you need/want any help testing or working on the removal. I'm happy to assist however it would
be helpful.
