I heard some people saying that they don't care if the old
instances cease to exist, specially if they they slow down
progress in future Act.

Removing current redirections to dcbpw.org should be enough
to have those instances working again under act.yapc.eu.

That's excellent news. So far it seemed to me that nobody was
interested in the old Act. Thus, tell me how can I help you
better and I will adjust. For instance, what would be the first
thing that you would like to see improved in current Act setup?

AFAICR from Theo's lightning talk in Granada, he's going to
build a new Act from scratch using a REST API instead of
improving existing code. Theo, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm in for improving the existing code, even if it only will
be used for old instances.

Thanks!
