You’re using the new PyPI (either by getting a new default from a new version of Python or Twine OR explicitly switching to it yourself) which has this disabled. You can still upload to legacy PyPI by switching the default back. That will restore the ability to upload docs to pythonhosted.org.

We do plan on adding the ability to provide an automatic redirect to the new PyPI, but it’s not there yet.

Thanks Paul,
no I wasn't aware of that, and I will subscribe to distutils-sig from now on. 
I don't remember ever receiving a warrant about this decision but it's entirely possible I may have forgot. =)
So long story short is that I will have to move the doc on readthedocs, correct?
Does pythonhosted provide an automatic redirect or I'll have to upload a static page which states the doc has been moved?

This was discussed on distutils-sig back in May 2015. The thread
starts here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2015-May/026327.html.
One of the actions in the final proposal
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2015-May/026381.html)
included a step to contact projects that were using pythonhosted.org.
Did you not get any contact?

It might be worth picking this up on distutils-sig, as that's where
the original discussion occurred. I've copied this reply to there, and
suggest followups go to that list.

Paul
