Here dracut allows ftp://, by calling curl. If curl does not support
the protocol, this will fail… I think this is what we want.
(BTW, I think the dracut repo on
git.kernel.org seems stale…
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut has commits from this week, but
kernel.org ends at 2021-05-27.)

I think the story would be the same here: if an url with ftp:// was actually
configured somewhere, the download would fail. But I don't think we have many
such urls...
We aren't the only ones who set up repositories. Organizations which
run Fedora and RHEL often have internal repositories, which may use
FTP.
