You are re-inventing history here:

1) It wasn't my decision to switch to the new infrastructure: Keeping
osprey was both expensive (in =C2=A3 but also sysadmin time) and useless
(since nothing was running nor working from it anymore).

2) In August 2016 (and probably before on IRC) I did warn that action
had to be taken:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29456.html
... Removing the DNS records and switching it off hasn't changed
anything to the fact that it was already broken. Wget and cURL both
check for HSTS headers by default, which means that "keeping it on"
wouldn't have helped with making existing deployments of the script
work.

3) You are the one who has changed the plan:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg54925.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg54944.html

Blame me all you want, but I have delivered upon what I said I would do:
we have https://mvn.freenetproject.org and the tooling to deploy
there... It's your refusal to use it (or to adapt the legacy one) that
has lead to the multi-year breakage with no end in sight.
