This has been already discussed before [1], but the discussion died down. Here's an updated proposal.

Change the following:

1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#Remote_package_sources

From: "When using a release-blocking dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to use either HTTP or FTP repositories (or both) as package sources. Release-blocking network install images must default to a valid publicly-accessible package source."

To: "...must be able to use HTTP(S) repositories as package sources..."

Also add a new footnote:

"Covered repository types

This criterion only covers direct repository URLs ("baseurl"), and doesn't cover mirrorlist or metalink URLs."

2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#Update_image

From: "The installer must be able to download and use an installer update image from an HTTP server."

To: "...from an HTTP(S) server."

3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_33_Beta_Release_Criteria#Remote_package_sources

From: "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to use HTTP, FTP and NFS repositories as package sources."

To: "...must be able to use HTTP(S) and NFS repositories..."

Also update its footnotes in the same spirit.

Also add a new footnote:

"Covered repository types

This criterion only covers direct repository URLs ("baseurl"), and doesn't cover mirrorlist or metalink URLs."

It will also have an effect on our test cases:

4. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_HTTP/FTP_graphical

Rename to QA:Testcase_install_repository_HTTP_graphical

Update the contents by replacing HTTP with HTTP(S) and dropping FTP mentions.

5. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_HTTP/FTP_variation

Rename to QA:Testcase_install_repository_HTTP_variation

Update the contents by replacing HTTP with HTTP(S) and dropping FTP mentions.

6. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_updates.img_via_URL

Update the contents by replacing HTTP with HTTP(S).

Please approve or comment, thanks.
