I'm actually refering to:

   - *Lucid leaving apt.puppetlabs.com <http://apt.puppetlabs.com>* and
   also:
   - *Fedora 20 leaving yum.puppetlabs.com <http://yum.puppetlabs.com/>*

Both having the same (underlying) issue. I'm well aware how to mirror
repositories. But the thing is want puppetlabs to see that there is
interested so I will comment on the messages passing by here. I think it is
all too easy to forget about the tickets that just have watchers, so I try
to actively bug people with the things I care about :)

Also I couldn't agree more with Ehsan Foroughi who commented on the Lucid
thread:

*I feel that one thing puppet labs is failing to understand here is
how puppet is the perfect technology to update those end-of-life systems
and how harmful is this removal of old packages to your own technology that
you have built here.*

I think that pretty much captures the whole point of having a release
archive.
