Looks like the package is still in the proxy, and sadly is used by one known person.

It would be useful if the proxy site had a tamper warning at the top of a package’s page when the code hash for the version has changed. Perhaps it would be useful to list all the tampered packages in a master list so we can see how pervasive the problem is.

Also I don’t see the version hash listed on the package page (browsing in iOS Safari). That would help to compare against the repo for tampering.
