What do you mean by ‘deactivated’? Those mirrors were functional and updated 
until a day before my message. 

Is there any way I could have been aware/informed about the deprecated state of 
this mirror? Having to replace it on 100+ servers short-term is not the most 
fun activity :)

That is very possible; we’ve been using it since 2020 or so.
