Yes people seem to be going off on tangents about how useful FTP and
rsync are for OTHER things. The subject starts with the word "apt", what
part of "apt's usage of FTP and rsync" did they not understand?

I'm not proposing removing FTP and rsync packages from Devuan, I'm only
proposing stopping FTP and rsync servers on MY mirror. I could have just
stopped them to see who complained, but I'd rather ask first.

To re-iterate apt doesn't even support rsync, and has deprecated and
disabled FTP by default. So I'm proposing to stop serving Devuan
packages and ISOs from MY mirror using FTP and RSYNC. Everything will
still be available via HTTP and HTTPS. What others do with their mirrors
is up to them, not all of them support FTP or rsync anyway.
