I had a more recent thread in mind and I just found it. It was kind of
buried inside the "When should we https our mirrors?" thread.

From: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/10/msg00362.html

And here https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/10/msg00490.html one
of the maintainers behind deb.debian.org states the "experimental" phase
has ended:

,----[ Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@err.no>

And here the reference for d-i (more precisely debootstrap) switching to
deb.debian.org:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/11/msg00006.html

There are. But all more or less agree that httpredir.debian.org is
unmaintained and just cruising along on auto-pilot.
