Thank you for your very fine and detailed message about the issue.
Yes, go ahead and leave it commented out for now.

If it is determined that the 2.9.7 version works without issues
on an LFS-6.3 platform, then we'll probably end up uncommenting
it and mirroring it on Anduin. We have a spot on Anduin which
supports hosting source packages that is not reliant on the
rsync method from Justin K.'s server. We can use that.

We can no longer count on the rsync mirroring to work as it has
been more than 3 months (best as I can tell) since there's been
updates (not sure if it is because Justin hasn't been updating
or if the Anduin rsync is not working, either way though, it
appears it is not reliable).
