When a reminder of the EOL was posted late last year, there were a flurry of "we still need 4.x" messages.

If there's no longer any activity, then it can be shutdown. For anyone who needs 4.x, cvs-cur is always an alternative: Replicate the CVS repository and check out your own 4.x tree. Whilst this does cost an extra ~3.5GB disk space, it's much easier to manage your own local patches and you have ready access to more recent versions of the source if you want/need to backport changes. -- Peter Jeremy [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFxQBV/opHv/APuIcRAsDMAJ47NLBRYs52LW0jqR2r3uBIUH+ghQCfQ0nK y/62+CeqJJ3WnOIexPgxbno= =bnbW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
