> Suggestion;
> a) keep the old URLs working as much as practical.
> b) where a package has been migrated and is considered 'supported' in whatever sense people think suitable, use redirection magic to redirect to the new place.
> c) where a package has not been migrated, add prominent notes to all relevant places (description page, listings, even the name of the package if that works) to the effect that it might no work, hasn't been re-adopted yet etc.
> d) allow a sort of copy-on-write effect to find out which packages ever get used & brought up to date.
> e) after some suitable period - say 100 years - drop anything not ever updated.

I'm don't mean to sound like a broken record.  Until someone
volunteers to implement your suggestion, a possible alternative might
be to just document it in the Map.  That's actually its primary
purpose; to tell us where projects are.
