A release will need some amount of discussion before it happens, with
buy-in from other developers, not just me making a decision and "doing
it". I last brought up the topic in July and my summary would be that
the time hadn't come yet:

I don't have an opinion on an LSR replacement, but regarding the
redirection I agree with Werner that a working infrastructure has
advantages. For a long-term solution, it might even be an idea to
change the entire DNS entry of lsr.di.unimi.it to the new server and
have the redirection implemented there.
