Also, I would really like to get rid of those things in the infrastructure
that we need to maintain. Even if it's not much time, it is time required
to do that and the small things sum up.

Having said this, I think the overall consensus is that we retain this
server but let redirect to a page that explains the move. I would say it is
fair to tear this down in 6 month from now. Any objections?
