Deprecating it as a consequence of PEP 449 makes sense, but is there
any urgency to dropping it?

I'm not necessarily opposed to removing it, but what's the specific
*gain* in doing so? If it's just a matter of wanting to skip
implementing it for Warehouse, then I'd say +1 to leaving it out of
the API reimplementation, but I don't yet see the advantage in
removing it from the existing PyPI code base.

If we do remove it, then it should probably only be after all the old
autodiscovery domain names have been redirected back to the main PyPI
server.

Cheers,
Nick.
