Someone made mention on IRC earlier of a reference to rpmforge on the wiki and it got me thinking (yeah, never a good thing)... A quick search on the wiki itself shows a lot_of references to rpmforge. As this is a dead project and has been a dead project for 3+ years now it would be quite useful to the consumers of the wiki material for those references to be removed and replaced with something that is trusted, epel for example. I mentioned it to Christoph Galuschka and it was decided to bring this matter up here. Again, rpmforge is a dead project and any hope of it coming back is just a pipedream. References to it as a resource are a disservice to wiki users.

Burn the references with fire. If there are any references to litko then they should be treated equally. Both are dead.
