+1. I think packages.python.org is a nice service… so I'm not sure I 
would completely shut it off (and potentially alienate folks using it 
and liking it for everything RTD is not, assuming there are some 
differences). But at the same time, I've never actually used it, and 
I'm not sure how many would shed a tear if we drift towards RTD as the 
standard.


I wonder how many of the 1693 projects have a corresponding RTD 
presence (I know there are some projects that do upload to both 
services.)
