- -1, on two counts:

 - breaking the "historic" URLs for no purpose is lame, and would
   cause useless pain to people with older installations that rely
   on them ("Yes, Virginia, there were automated buildouts before
   zc.buildout").

 - PyPI is the canonical download location for the current releases:
   launchpad should just be pointing there.
