It's also one of those things where redirecting hg & svn references to the
matching git commits is only a requirement if and when we *do* decide to
shut off the old servers, which would break a *lot* of links in mailing
list archives, Stack Overflow, blog posts, etc.

Once we get to the point where all remote write access to both servers has
been shut off, a link-preserving, maintenance-reducing solution might be to
bake both the repository data and the corresponding web gateway software
into a pair of Linux container images and then host them wherever is
easiest for the PSF infrastructure team.

Cheers,
Nick.
