I don't need zeroconf for my Pharo1.1 app, either. Alternate download methods would be fine.
I continue to support Metacello on all of the older versions of Pharo and I do use zeroconf there, but if there is an alternate download mechanism then I can use that for testing ���
Download will be available eternally:
The thing is that
get.pharo.org is more than a download. People will expect that it *works*. And we can not (we really can not) support all versions
of Pharo. E.g. Spur. Soon we will have a VM that can not run old images. If we keep
get.pharo.org for 1.4, people expect it to work. And we will have
to provide a VM for the old version. Then at some point, this VM will not work anymore on the then current linux. Then people expect us to fix that.
Just downloads is a different thing: this is an archive, use it at your own risk.
