As the bug report states it has made support of production machines very
difficult.  I think it is important that Debian provides an 'official'
archive of bo, not just "if anybody wants to set up bo mirrors, that's fine."
As I said in my past posts the archive should, at least, be on
ftp.debian.org. If other mirrors don't want to mirror bo that is
completely understandable.

Dropping bo from the 'official' ftp site is like a company removing all
patches, updates, etc. for older releases of products as soon as a new
product is released.  Not a very go P.R. move.

Thanks,
