Description

The mirror in Seattle, USA operated by PNNL has not been updated for almost a year. At first no administrative contact was reachable, but later it was confirmed the server in question was decommissioned (although still reachable?).

While missing distfiles or packages will be skipped, using the ports tree from this mirror over rsync is a problem. However, also for distfiles and packages, this mirror will not help users if it is not updated as it leads to unnecessary download delays. We should therefore remove it from our mirror rotation.
