Thanks Sven. Is this still a beta service or mature enough to be
recommended to debian users? Hopefully there is a formal announcement
on this. As it stands, httpredir is mentioned in many places. For
example

https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
https://www.debian.org/mirror/
http://httpredir.debian.org/

and is all over the wiki (there are 145 hits for httpredir
site:wiki.debian.org in google).

Now I feel stupid for filing
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845769 today morning
asking httpredir to be discussed in the debian-handbook. :FacePalm:
