That way, watch files wouldn't break should SF choose to drop the query strings entirely. Avoiding the mirror_picker.php URLs should already be provided by anchoring the match at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ Also keeping the "avoid its mirror system" phrase in the comment seems misleading without the qa.debian.org redirector reference. AIUI, SF's mirror system will still be used, just a mirror picked automatically without the intermediary page. Plus, this seems to be the default now, not a tricky circumvention. And perhaps the fact that sf.net URLs were special-cased and automatically rewritten by uscan in the past should stay mentioned even if the feature should be removed, to help interpreting old watch files.
