Last year, there were a number of attacks made on the service which due to its 'write-only' nature makes it impossible to clean up [2] [3]. When the attacks came up, and it was clear it was not easily fixable, we moved keys to a proxy only mode. However this mode has not been too stable and caused other issues. > > > > Fedora Infrastructure has tried to figure out ways to run a service replacement, but currently has not found one which we can with the resources we have available.

I don't see that being valuable enough to actually invest the effort into doing it and maintaining it long term. If others are interested in hosting such a service, that would likely be welcome. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
