FWIW ReadTheDocs is probably looking for a new host, though they're a… substantial system:

https://readthedocs.org/sustainability/

> Serve over 20 million pages of documentation a month

> Have 10 servers and serve over 2 TB of documentation a month

> Host over 18,000 projects and support 25,000 users

> Are supported by two dedicated engineers

Correct, Read the Docs isn't going away, and maintainers certainly don't need to worry about moving their documentation. We'll just be switching hosts before the end of the year.

We actually got hints of the fact that Rackspace was axing their F/OSS program back in May, and have been slowly prodding folks in the Python community about sponsoring hosting since then. Rackspace never confirmed if/when the program was going away, but we were anticipating this since their acquisition.
