Yes, their systems will be checking for something not existant anymore
and in contradiction with the website documentation.
So, let's wait a bit until I clean all that mess please :)

Ok, so I have now a new todo list:
a) build current pga3 now that Andreas gave me the power hint to kill
the wx build failure
b) do some cleaning
c) work on developer.p.o to get Debian tools working on slack

I'm falling back to point 'a' for now :)
