Will you make httpredir point to a normal mirror so as not to break systems relying on it? (Or even to the geolocalized DNS entries if we still have that) If yes, then it's certainly a sensible thing to do. I'd like also to note that once we have proper by-hash package indices in Debian too, it's entirely reasonable to rely on MirrorBrain as HTTP redirector. I use it for Kali for more than 3 years already. http://mirrorbrain.org But I still haven't gotten round to package it properly for Debian... but I will do that at some point.
