[TYPO3-typo3org] Request for TER removal

Yes, I know. I never really checked precisely, but I'm pretty sure the 
download count of my obsolete extensions is still increasing ;-)

That would prevent new downloads. OTOH for installed instances I think 
it's better to see that the extension has become obsolete. If it's 
removed from TER altogether, then you'll just think that there's no update.

It's not hard to do. It's a few clicks for a TER admin (well, a lot of 
clicks for th_mailformplus, one per released version ;-) ). I just 
wonder if it's the best way to do this. Maybe someone else has another 
proposal.

Cheers
