Erhm.  My apologies.  That was my fault.

I extended the certificates for both fsfla.org and linux-libre.fsfla.org
on that day, to cover some additional aliases, noted that certbot
reported it had enabled the redirect, proceeded to reverse those
changes, succeeded at that for fsfla.org, but failed at that for
linux-libre.fsfla.org because the change had been different there and I
didn't expect nor notice the difference, and failed to test it.

So IIUC people should be able to update without local changes again, and
it doesn't hurt that they'll get the mirror+https URL.  It's probably
safer that way.
