 This PEP describes a mirroring infrastructure for PyPI.
 
 
+PEP Withdrawal
+==============
+
+The main PyPI web service was moved behind the Fastly caching CDN in May 2013:
+https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-May/020848.html
+
+Subsequently, this arrangement was formalised as an in-kind sponsorship with
+the PSF, and the PSF has also taken on the task of risk management in the event
+that that sponsorship arrangement were to ever cease.
+
+The download statistics that were previously provided directly on PyPI, are now
+published indirectly via Google Big Query:
+https://packaging.python.org/guides/analyzing-pypi-package-downloads/
+
+Accordingly, the mirroring proposal described in this PEP is no longer required,
+and has been marked as Withdrawn.
