Ditto, the last commit commit 76f106831361817c4f333e82e901bf60bf551351 is from
2018.

Except that here you have enough mirrors to keep only the HTTPS protocol and
not have any problem with "RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES". On the other hand it's
clean :)

At the very least, I think it would be nice to have a comment in
"Mk/bsd.sites.mk" like:

# Please, prefer HTTPS procotol, otherwise HTTP and finally FTP only if you
have no other mirror.
