I am not too happy that the instructions in the documentation of the _current_
_stable_ release lead to a link to a no longer existing file.

Shouldn't there be some analogy to our deprecation policy? Or, alternatively, a
new stable release fixing the documentation issue?

What is the policy for removing spkgs, also in relation to reproduceability of
old research? I can probably compile old sage versions if needed for some old
non-polished code, but if the corresponding parts of sage-as-a-distribution are
no longer available? (Granted, pyopenssl is probably not about research, just
about infrastructure).e
