If there is at least one IETF (or IETF LLC)-supported site that is kept synchronized with the IETF I-D collection and offers FTP, I don't see any strong reason why there needs to be access to the IETF repository on the IETF site. Even for those who need to change scripts, changing one site and path for another (either in human memory or in a script) should not be a big deal and, IIR, IETF has moved things around often enough that most FTP users have had to do that once or twice already.
I'm probably ok with that also... as long as _that_ ftp server doesn't go away anytime soon or without a good reason. To me it's more important that the service exist than that it be run by IETF. (especially since the IETF server is being run so poorly)
Maybe just change the DNS for ftp.ietf.org to a CNAME that points to it? Keith
