TDE Mirrors

So 14.0.6 was released a few weeks ago and I didn't notice.  That's odd.
Particularly odd, in fact, as I run the primary TDE mirror.  Normally
TDE releases are coordinated with the primary TDE mirror in order so
ensure a smooth deployment.

The last post to trinity-announce was in August 2018.  If there was an 
announcement of 14.0.6 on -user or -devel I missed it.  The web site
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php doesn't list 14.0.6 as a
release although there is a mention of 14.0.6 on the home page.

Looking back at the various list archives for March and April I only
see a discussion of an Ubuntu LiveCD being updated to 14.0.6 but I had
ignored that because we don't run Ubuntu.

However the redirector http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/ seems to
have been hijacked to bypass the mirrors in favor of whichever mystery
repository has 14.0.6.  This of course doesn't help people who have
selected a specific mirror for improved performance and consistency.

A bunch of people are paying for and maintaining mirrors that don't
have 14.0.6.  When were you going to tell us that we are wasting our
time and money?
