As the one with the finger on the not-the-metaphorical button, I think we should say that two (2) months from now, on October 1st 2013, the [a-g].pypi.python.org DNS names will all be redirected to front.python.org and another two months beyond that (2013-12-01) they will all be deleted (along with last.pypi.python.org). That seems like a very generous deprecation schedule, especially given that all the needs to change is some domain registrations. --Noah
