Do you really, really _need_ to "deprecate, cleanup, and simplify a
lot" in order to stop mirroring tomorrow?! Start doing new minor
releases on GitHub a month from now? FWIW, I have asked for specifics
many times, but am still unaware of any serious obstacles on the way
to those goals.
As I have mentioned multiple times ... there is a reason we have Jenkins
building the tarballs.
The reasons I have heard multiple times do not preclude disabling
mirroring tomorrow and doing releases on GitHub a month from now.
AFAICT, there is just lack of shared goals (or shared priorities)
rather than serious obstacles on the way of achieving those two
specific goals.
FWIW, one of those goals that we appear not to share is freedom of

FWIW, I support that particular goal (among others). That goal certainly
does not preclude disabling mirroring tomorrow and doing releases on
GitHub a month from now.
There exist countries in this world who forbid access to USA hosted
content. Having squid-cache.org mirrored keeps us largely out of the
political arean.
We do not need mirrors to make Squid available on non-US hosted servers,
especially stale, broken, and infested mirrors (i.e. the subject of this
email thread).
