Sadly I have images for appstream metadata hosted here (seemed like a 
good idea back in 2014, oops), meaning once it goes down, older 
releases will no longer display images in GNOME Software if distros 
rebuild their appstream metadata. Potentially affected apps: 
five-or-more, four-in-a-row, gnome-calculator, gnome-chess, 
gnome-klotski, gnome-mahjongg, gnome-mines, gnome-nibbles, 
gnome-robots, gnome-sudoku, gnome-taquin, gnome-tetravex, hitori, 
iagno, lightsoff, quadrapassel, swell-foop, tali. These images are very 
stale, so hopefully some apps have refreshed their images since I 
created them, but the rest will break. I'll go through them all soon 
and migrate all images to GitLab to ensure that GNOME 42 releases will 
be OK, but of course there is no way to fix older releases.

I also had a bunch of tarballs hosted here too, but it looks like 
release team is no longer using them due to infrastructure 
improvements, so that's no problem.
