Tools don't read warnings. Of course the information should not be hidden completely but intentionally breaking the download URLs makes sense.

This can also be handled relatively easily. They can disable the old links and a new one can be added specifically for the disabled repository. Or even just let the repository be browsable through the interface at least.

Simply showing one giant page saying "This respository is disabled" is not helpful in any way.
