Hi All,

Ralf has suggested dropping sourceforge as a NumPy release site. There was
discussion of doing that some time back but we have not yet done it. Now
that we put wheels up on PyPI for all supported architectures source forge
is not needed. I note that there are still some 15,000 downloads a week
from the site, so it is still used.

Thoughts?

+1 from me.

If we really need some distribution on top of github/pypi, note that
bintray (https://bintray.com/) is free for OSS projects, and is a much
better experience than sourceforge.

+1, I am very skeptical of anything on SourceForge, it negatively impacts
my opinion of any project that requires me to download from sourceforge.

I've uploaded the NumPy 1.11.2 release to sourceforge and made a note on
the summary page that that will be the last release to be found there.
