I will remove Internet2 support from MirrorManager in the next few

The main reason is, that the source for the Internet2 routing tables
does not exist any more:

It changed a couple of years ago and it seems Fedora was one of the only
users of that data. They fixed it for us, but the latest ticket I opened
to access this information was closed with "This service was decomd".
I do not think that the removal of Internet2 support for our users will
be noticed at all. Removing Internet2 will remove some complexity from
the code and using ASN and GeoIP should still provide a reasonably close
mirror for most of out users.
Sounds like a really good plan to me, especially around removing complexity in the mirror
selection. I cannot
think of any reason the removal should adversely affect users at this point since as you
said, the routing
information is not exactly available anymore.
I would be interested if there are any mirror admins that are using Internet2 that would
be able to comment on
the health of I2 in 2022.
I will start to update the different components to not expose and rely
on Internet2 information any more in the next couple of weeks.
Let me know if you need/want any help testing or working on the removal. I'm happy to
assist however it would
be helpful.

Let me know if you see any major problems in removing Internet2 support
from MirrorManager.
