However, some time ago, the zabbix.com URL was 200-OK, and at that point
SWH would have ingested it, no?

Or were we unlucky and the URL was already 404 by the time SWH read its
first ‘sources.json’?

Yes, it’s probably a good idea to eventually turn ‘sources.json’ into a
‘computed-file’, and make a one-element manifest under etc/.
