It appears that the DOTGO service is not currently operational, and it looks like it may go away completely.

Is there a way to mark the class as legacy? Perhaps a legacy category that it can be filed in?

Humm... good question. Well if it stops working, you can always add a note in the package description. What do you think?

I added the note already, just waiting for moderator approval.

The code itself does have some value in the techniques used, even if it no longer works. It would be nice to have somewhere to drop it away from active classes though. If DOTGO should come back in some form it could be activated again.

Anyway, just wondering if there was a process already in place.

OK, I will just approve the note to clarify people about the update.

There was a class that the author wanted to remove because it was no longer working due to a API that changed, so the site redirects to a class for a similar purpose that works better.

But it is OK to keep no longer working classes.
