Brett, If our goal is to shut it down, then yes please, if you can send a pull request that would be great.. We should also probably remove it from the pypi mirror pool before we do this so it no longer gets traffic sent it's way. >> >>> >>>> If we can get it up to date again, I think it is fine, but an out of >>>> date mirror is not useful to anyone, and it could cause problems in the >>>> long run. >>>> >>>> >>>>> >>>>> 2.
