Hi,
while I invested some time in the past updating thirdpartymirrors to add
HTTPS where possible too, I see no point in dropping non-HTTPS mirrors:
Just make sure that HTTPS mirrors are listed first.
From security point of view, we don't get anything from HTTPS because we
maintain and validate checksums for distfiles and thirdpartymirrors file
is only used for distfiles.
