 At least in this particular case, I don't think, the removal is warranted.

 The public distfiles disappeared not because of a deliberate action by the
 developer or copyright-holder, but simply because the entire ftp.cwi.nl is
 now gone. Sites continue to host the file -- we should allow CWI.net to sort
 things out with their FTP-server (or, perhaps, they intend to offer the same
 code over HTTP later).

Could you add those extra sites to MASTER_SITES then please?

None of them are official -- and various web-pages continue to refer 
to ftp.cwi.nl as the source.


Since FreeBSD mirrors already provide unofficial mirrors, is there a 
point in adding those at this time?
