If the numbers start to drop, we'll probably take it down sooner than that. Current stats: RPMS downloaded in November: 5987 RPMS downloaded in December: 10620 RPMS downloaded in January: 3006 RPMs downloaded since Feb 1: 19799 So, at least some people still find us useful. :+D We don't think, from a security point of view, that it is responsible to encourage people to use older systems by leaving them up longer than a year. But that gives people time to find a suitable migration path.
