Yes, they will.  We plan to remove branches distribution via FTP for
official mirrors because carrying these bits via FTP mirror apps is
too inefficient.

If we got many requests to provide a FTP method to get the source of
each branch, I'll setup specific FTP site (such as
ftp-branches.FreeBSD.org?) for this purpose.

We think mirroring branches bits to all over the world is not good way
to go.
