Subject: Request for formal deprecation status

I'm not actively using this, but doing some reference checking for vendor packaging, and I noticed WWW-CheckSite had ceased being resolvable.

The default assumption I make here is the package is completely deprecated and end-of-life, but sometimes mistakes happen and its a glitch in the indexer, so I always double check, so I'm basically asking for a confirmation/disconfirmation in that regard.

 

Footnote: Toolchain encourage a formal deprecation cycle as follows to smooth over the transitions and surprises to make it clear its "deprecated" not "your brain has stopped working and thats why search.cpan.org thinks you hallucinated" :) http://neilb.org/2015/01/17/deprecated-metadata.html
