[gopher] Should we be mirroring Gopher sites via FTP?

Hi All,

Reading today, about the news that Chrome will now be flagging FTP sites 
as insecure[1] which is obviously the first step to depreciating 
support, and seeing that debian and kernel.org no longer support their 
FTP archives[2], should those of us hosting (or in my case planning to 
host) large respositories of older files and data via Gopher, also be 
thinking about hosting it via anonymous FTP ?
