You also need to do it right away, as they are shutting off uploads today. This isn't just deprecation, but immediate removal of a feature. If it were just deprecation, it would stay up to give people time to change their practices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation

It should be noted that they are leaving the existing uploaded files available.
I knew that but I didn't think I needed to say that, but it can't hurt. :)
It still leaves some prominent open source projects, including ElasticSearch, with extra work that they need to do for their next release.

True enough. Certainly a hassle for the people who used it.
Anecdotally, I was always surprised when I ran across it being used, as it was a relatively infrequent occurrence. It seemed to always work well though, when I did. I was even tempted to use it for a few projects. Guess I will have to seek other avenues. Be it s3, dropbox, cloudapp, droplr, or something else.
