As a minimal token that anybody might possibly be using it, I would like
to see it work at least once. Since you said you have arch repos, can
you confirm that it does something?

Those repos are in offline/offsite storage and I do not have time to
retrieve them.

Then we have no reason to believe they still work, and therefore, no
reason to believe anybody is using this.

Do you have any reason to believe they do NOT work? If not, and they are
not causing any problems, then what is the benefit to getting rid of
them?

I've forgotten how to use tla to get a public repo, even.

I haven't used tla in quite a long time, but:

  tla register-archive http://www.atai.org/archarchives/atai@atai.org--public/
  tla my-default-archive atai@atai.org--public
  mkdir repo
  cd repo
  git archimport atai@atai.org--public

seemed to work (that archive is straight off the tla homepage's
instructions). Looks like the commit messages could use some cleanup,
but certainly it's better than nothing.
