Hello, everyone.
TL;DR: I'm thinking of shutting down all gentoo-mirror repositories,
except for gentoo and guru.
Unfortunate, but just to say that I have nothing to say against
dropping these if it's a maintenance burden.
So what I'm thinking about is winding most of the project down. We'd
stop mirroring third-party repositories, and remove most of gentoo-
mirror organization.
Had one concern but complete removal (rather than keeping mirrors
archived) would mostly handle it. Aka so that users can't keep
sync'ing with these dead mirrors by mistake (often caused issues when
we removed overlays but mirror stayed behind, users wouldn't notice a
thing until lacking updates started to break things).
In the OpenStack community, we will put a final commit on HEAD of the
primary branch removing all the content and putting an EOL notice in the
readme (e.g. https://opendev.org/openstack/ironic-lib ). This may be a
good solution in this case as well, potentially?
