You are correct, It has gone down periodically as the result of abuse from people in the scene, such as harassment from transgender people REEEE'ing that I have a different political opinion than them.
I do not need to publish any of the data online (I already have the data, and much more privately), I publish it for projects such as yours who need the data. The data should remain up, assuming more triggered transgender people don't launch attacks against my github that ultimately hurts the scene a lot more than me. Github is a SJW company, it is not a safe free speech platform.

Eh, that is still not ideal because then you are messing with tons of diferent json's. At any point in time you do have my versions.txt, there is zero need to go further back in the past.
So ideally you would want to check the modified time on the versions.txt, and only apply / use hac_version_list.json if its newer than the versions.txt. So even if I stopped publishing versions.txt today, you could still use it and apply hac_version_list patches on top, or just do it yourself manually and host an update versions.txt on your own website.
