Does anybody have any use for this site anymore?

We've kept it in order to make old links work, I think. Beyond the original "keep it for a few weeks/months after the git migration in case we change our mind" - and I don't think we'll be going back to cvs :)

The reason I ask is this system is getting hammered by AI bots these days, and the cvsweb software is incredibly slow and fragile so it goes down very often, and generates lots of alerts.

Given I haven't seen any reports from actual users about it being down, I do suspect we have very close to zero real users of it and that the only access is bots.

Thus, the suggestion is to shut the service down completely. We will of course keep a tarball of the cvs repository itself around (this is already on our download site in pub/dev/archive), but would replace the host with a hard redirect to the root of the git repository site. It would *not* track the individual files or anything, just send the entire host to the git server.

Thoughts?
