We never announced the day that sup died, it is true, but it's also
true that we announced its impending demise for months before finally
pulling the plug.  It hardly happened in secret, and it's more the
case here that a lot of people simply never stopped using the
"backwards-compatibility" sup server we provided on spatter, one which
we threatened might go away at any time and was only hastened on its
way by spatter's untimely demise.

CVSup and CTM, that's basically it.  The FTP site is also updated once
a day, so if people just want to mirror the CVS tree and check
whatever they like out of it, that's always been an option (since we
opened up the CVS repo, anyway).
