Only the https endpoint currently does, and that's not what I'm switching to in this bug.
To Philipp's point, there are multiple CDNs we could use in the (unlikely) event the current one(s) went away. However, I believe the consensus within DSA is that we explicitly do not want to maintain more frontends for the sake of it, we'd rather have a single one that works well, from a sponsor we're confident won't go away without enough notice to let us move the service without affecting users. Issues with deb.debian.org can be reported against the "mirrors" pseudo-package in the BTS, or to the dsa@ or mirrors@ aliases. If switching the mirror question from high to medium priority proves controversial I guess I could separate that to its own bug too, to at least get the default changed. Cheers, Julien
