I suppose that's the least bad option. Ta-da!

They set the version to 99.99.99 and made a notation that that the
module is no longer supprted.

Hi folks,
Got a question about the best way to handle Forge module migrations
without screwing over anyone who uses that module.
Some time ago I started using a Puppet module from Github[1], which was
not available on the Forge at the time. I contacted the author to ask if
he would consider publishing it on the Forge and he didn't respond, so I
forked the code and published it on the Forge under my own name
(jgazeley/selinux)[2]. Since then, it has racked up quite a lot of
downloads.
This week, the original author contacted me and said his module was now
available on the Forge (jfryman/selinux)[3]. I sent a PR back to him
with my changes, and I now consider his module to be the
authoritative copy.
There is no point in maintaining my fork and so I wish to remove my
module from the Forge since it will no longer receive updates. But how
can I communicate to end users who have installed my fork
jgazeley/selinux that they should migrate to use authoritative
jfryman/selinux instead? I don't want to simply delete it and have
people stuck in a dead-end release. I could publish a new version of the
module with the same code but an updated README that advises people to
migrate. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Jonathan
