That was a distinction that I completely missed. Not important for this
proposal, but good to clarify.

Do you mean dropping FTP support completely from all criteria? Then this
would also need a clarification:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_33_Final_Release_Criteria#Package_and_installer_sources
to specifically mention that FTP is not included (because it still *is*
supported by anaconda, right?). Perhaps a topic for a separate discussion?
I don't have strong feelings here.

If you mean dropping FTP support from the Basic and Beta criteria I
mentioned in my proposal, but keeping the Final criterion intact (for now),
I'd be definitely in favor of that change, especially after hearing that
our infra dropped FTP support some time ago.

It's already covered by the Final criterion mentioned above, I believe.
