download.qgis.org you mean?
Or do you mean to put the version.txt on the osgeo machien?

I'm ok with some alt names in the certificate, it is all updated in one
go anyway.

I think in general (big) download sites is a good thing to use the
service of cloudflare? It keeps the pressure from our own servers?

What about linux.qgis.org, we can use that one for all repo's which
should not go over cloudflare.
Though whatnot.qgis.org is fine for me too :-)

nocache.qgis.org ?
