+# Archive resource
+
+## Summary
+
+This RFC proposes removing the Archive resource to simplify the API.
+
+This is a breaking change.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Currently, the specification defines the Archive resource as a zip file within
+the whole register inside. That is entries, blobs and some contextual
+information. Usage metrics show that no one is actually using it.
+
+## Explanation
+
+Remove the endpoint `GET /download-register`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The archive resource will not be available anymore.
