 AFAIK that message has always been there, but still all the genimage releases
can be downloaded from it.

 Maybe for the next release, Pengutronix will upload a tar.xz to github? Then we
can certainly switch. Now, especially the AUTORECONF'ing is IMO really annoying
(it will multiply the build time with a factor of four for a simple config with
just busybox and an external toolchain).
