[Michael Paoli]

http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ is out-of-date again.
All the data I've checked on it is from 2015-04-19
It probably ought have monitoring on it, so out-of-date data,
broken links, etc. are alarmed and fixed and generally long before
users notice, report, open or cause to be opened bugs/requests to
have it fixed, etc.
