Bug Description

The owner of a mirror contacted us as their old mirror is still considered valid by the mirror prober while it has been out of date for months.

Hi,

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirrors.xservers.ro-archive is wildly out of date (nothing after Focal), and yet as I'm typing this, it's still marked as Official. The log of the last probe is available at https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/qZk3bKsFRB/.

I'm marking this mirror Unofficial now.
```
