Having said that, we are in touch with OSG so that any possible plan to deprecate the BDII on their side is properly announced and planned, so users know what to expect from the Information System.
I just got the following from Brian via the GGUS ticket #113580:
To be clear - OSG is in the process of deprecating and removing the BDII (that is, having sites no longer show up in the WLCG BDII), in conjunction with our USCMS and USATLAS stakeholders. This has been a multi-year process to remove the BDII requirement from various monitoring, validation, job submission, transfer and accounting systems.
This is starting to show externally-visible differences after multiple years of effort. The USCMS side completed first and we turned-down the first USCMS Tier-2 site last week. More will follow as USCMS coordinates internally. It's still an ongoing effort within USATLAS and we will run the BDII service for as long as a stakeholder needs it.

So, it looks like USCMS at least are currently in the process of switching off sites, so they will disappear from the info-system. Cheers, Paul.
