We stopped uploading advisories there because we kept on running into
problems with ftp mirrors being out of date, while have complete control
over the security.freebsd.org webserver and can make sure files are there
before we send out the advisory.
Sounds like we should remove this from ftp-master so it stops being
replicated, or at least put a note there about it being historic. Any
preference on which? It would be easy for me to put a warning and
redirection at the top of README or rename CERT to CERT.old.
All of the old advisories point to ftp.freebsd.org (both as "the latest
revision of this advisory can be found at" and for the patches), so we
should leave the existing files there for the near future at least. Adding
a README pointing people towards security.freebsd.org sounds like the best
option to me.
What I've done is update the README and index.html to reflect the new
location, but left the existing files in place for historical reasons.
