Not really. We have nowhere else to recommend, since we don't run a
replacement for it. And we really don't want to get involved in
listing all the different third party sites out there. (For example,
we had a reference to sourceforge.net in the same paragraph. And while
that was certainly "state of the art" when the docs were written, I
don't think anybody sane would recommend that today. The reality keeps
changing on those things, so it really doesn't belong in the docs). We
could put a set of links on the wiki if we want something "more live".
