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.
