First of all I guess I missed that a decision like that has been made :-)

I agree. E.g. I wanted to look for an extension manual online to simply 
check some things out in a fast way, now I´m not able to. I´m sure a lot 
of developers won´t like this situation as well.

IMHO it´s a rather hard way to put that much extensions "offline" (in 
ways of typo3.org) as a lot of developers out there are working with a 
lot of those...

In my case now I don´t run into big troubles, but just imagine a 
developer has to tell his client that he can´t continue working at the 
moment as typo3.org decided to take a lot of extensions from their 
website...
Not the best reputation I guess.

Sorry if that has been discussed somewhere before, I don´t want to open 
any reruns :-)
