Oh.
Well, I (and a number of other people) missed the announcement of this
change in policy. Since it was well-known that ftp.debian.org had just
been refurbished, I, at least, had assumed it was merely an oversight and
was trying to compensate for it.
I apologize for my gaffe. Obviously I should pay better attention to my
mail, since it seems I glossed over the announcement of the change in
policy.

I'm not trying to bypass the COC here or anything, just trying to work
around what I and several others perceived as a "glitch".
