I have now removed the projects.postgresql.org entry from DNS.

I haven't done anything to the FTP entries, since they are as mentioned
quite possibly the only copy of some of this stuff.

Perhaps we should drop a README file =C3=ADnto the pub/projects directory
explaining that content in these directories can be expected to be out of

might do something?
