That is not true. ftp.gnu.org/pub/gcc is just unstructured.

We never set a policy about how ftp.gnu.org should be structured.

gcc.gnu.org has a clear directory structure -- releases are under releases/
ftp.gnu.org has a different looking.
The net result is that sites that mirror from ftp.gnu.org
get different result from those mirroring from gcc.gnu.org, adding
to the confusion.

I believe gcc.gnu.org is much more consistent.

We should have ftp.gnu.org mirror from gcc.gnu.org.
