Drop support for FTP.
Description of the change
Drop support for FTP.
* Our testing situation for FTP isn't great
* FTP is not as commonly used anymore as when Bazaar was started
* Breezy operations over FTP are slower than over other transports, so we
should steer users away from it
* FTP isn't well defined in some areas, resulting in lots of annoying corner case bugs
* FTP connections are almost always insecure

I'm a little sad about this (my first patch to bzr was fixing some dumb ftp thing), but I agree with your reasoning. Along with ftp being discouraged as a whole (see also https:/ /lwn.net/ Articles/ 720856/ for instance), removing support altogether seems correct.
