Towards the end of 2022 the author of the three elegant* classes
told us: “I created these templates in 2013 mainly for Chinese
font settings along with some other settings.” As of now, the
“ctex package is good enough for Chinese settings”, and the
ctexart and ctexbook classes should be used as starting points
for Chinese documents.

He feels that he no longer has the time to maintain these packages
well, so prefers to retract them before they get outdated and buggy.

We have therefore agreed to move these packages to CTAN's /obsolete
branch (see new URLs below).

This means that although the packages will shortly be dropped by
TeX Live and MiKTeX, they can still be obtained from the URLs below.
