Dear bash maintainer,
the `d/watch` file uses `ftp://ftp.gnu.org`, but the operators of the
GNU infrastructure prefer HTTPS to FTP.
> NOTICE (Updated October 15 2021):
>
> If you maintain scripts used to access ftp.gnu.org over FTP,
> we strongly encourage you to change them to use HTTPS instead.
>
> Eventually we hope to shut down FTP protocol access, but plan
> to give notice here and other places for several months ahead
> of time.
