Old news ... :-)

Seems they did not fully understand the possible consequences
of deleting unmaintained projects when they made the initial
announcement.

But I wouldn't be surprised if some projects moved away from
GitLab after that announcement, and ports may need to be
adjusted to fetch from some other repository in the future ...
