Hi, all,
Given the statement from the website [1]
> Please note that TopHat has entered a low maintenance, low support

> in a more accurate and much more efficient way
and a statement from one of its co-authors [2]
> Please stop using Tophat. Cole and I developed the

I think we'd be doing users a favor by removing it from the archive. If
in the future anyone wants to replicate old results based on tophat,
they could build a container off of snapshot.debian.org.
Are there any objections?
