I just got 2 emails today from the legacy testflightapp.com, reminding me that they are shutting down the site on Feb 22 and that I no longer will be able to access all my historical tester-app data. The email provides instructions for migrating the data from testflightapp.com to itunes connect (which is always a pain to have to go through). When I went through the steps in the email, it seems as if all the previous accepted testers would have to re-accept the testflight process. I hope this isn't the case, but it's not the end of the world otherwise.

On a larger theme, I'm surprised that someone (an enterprising tech person) doesn't set up a service that archives all the data from startups that get acquired and then are shutdown. I'm imagining something like a secure github that has all the channels for each dead/acquired service that you could log into. Or perhaps there could be a company that charged the acquirer a small fee to take over the hosting of just the archived data, so it's still accessible. Perhaps this already exists?
