CC.freebsd.org mirrors still relevant?

Hi,

I have been the za.freebsd.org and internat.freebsd.org dns guy and also
maintaining an ftp server under it for a long time.

Over the years, newer services like pkg and freebsd-update were developed
and they do not use it, but use a dns geolocation system. Even the main
www.freebsd.org and ftp.freebsd.org dns has been geolocated and here it is
pointing to a server that seems to be hosted at one of the big peering
points in South Africa (za). The connectivity looks good. It has both IPv6
and IPv4 addresses. File transfers are at ~100MiB/s.

So I think the question is, does it still make sense to host the country
code mirrors and dns?

Maybe there are other areas or countries that are not so "lucky"?

Regards

John
