When I sent the email the mirror didn't appear on the complete list, but af=
ter restarting my PC for an update it shows up. It must have been the brows=
er caching it or something similar. That's my bad.

Oh, that makes sense. But why are third party ccTLD mirrors being deprecate=
d? (I'm guessing this means mirrors that aren't gTLDs are being deprecated,=
 or is it just the ftp.xx.debian.org ones? If it's the former, I could make=
 my mirror point to a gTLD.)

Your mirror *is* on the list. It's the first in the "complete list of=20
