I do not oppose that change, but I'm not doing the work to chase all the subdomain DNS admins down to try to fix it. This change cleans out some old mirrors for the 12.2 release, so that people installing 12.2 (and later stuff) won't have the installer complain when they accidentally pick a nonexistent mirror. I believe that the proper way to fix this is to just use the FreeBSD CDN even for these downloads (basically, go straight to download.freebsd.org, or at least have that as the preferred option), but I haven't gotten around to that.
