I did, right after filing this, and Myon pointed me to this git commit:
https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/website/-/commit/d538eb8

I interpret that as a deliberate removal (which is what I was expecting
as well, but lacked proof of), and I interpret the commit message as
that team not wanting to discuss that issue further.
