We seem to be getting a lot of questions about the packages app over the last 6 months. Would it be feasible to set up a static page at apps.fp.o/packages that says "this service has been retired"?
I agree that we don't want to keep retired services on the status page as Kevin said, but people are still going to end up finding it from inbound links, so it would avoid having to answer the question repeatedly at a low cost.
There is a thread on the infrastructure list about pushing forward one of the two replacements we have for this app

Here is the archive link to original discussion and here is the most recent discussion
There's also the thing ready to deploy:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9441
We just need someone(s) with permissions to help them deploy it. I think that would be better than a static page. ;)

I propose we close this ticket, as the proposed fedora-packages-static deployment (tracked in #9441 ) negates the need for this static page.
Instead of a static page, what about just adding a redirect when it is deployed?
Sure, we can do that. :)
Hopefully it will be soon?
