Reinstate this project to bower with a different name.

[meric]

We were re-activating some projects we had from a year ago and they had bower.json referencing bootstrap-sass#2.3.2. I noticed bower wasn't able to install it because the version was dropped from the list for some reason. Tried to change the version numbers but all the file paths were completely different and it was going to take hours to figure out the Gruntfile and all the paths in the HTML. After spending a an hour or two figuring out why those projects pointed to a mysterious missing version 2.3.2 I finally found out on an obscure reddit thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/2rfat5/do_we_still_need_bower/) the bootstrap-sass name was handed over to bower, which used very different paths for all the files. I suspect many variable names are different too.

I finally found on another obscure website "https://www.versioneye.com/css/jlong:bootstrap-sass/2.3.2" a hint to the original author of bootstrap-sass#2.3.2 (jlong) and my sanity was restored when I was able to download a zip file and manually place them in folders next to with other bower-managed dependencies folders.

Having dependencies listed on bower change was completely unexpected. I understand the official bootstrap group wanted the name but it would be nice to move the bower name to "bootstrap-sass-defunct" on bower and list that name in the README. That way projects that depended on this version of bootstrap-sass could make a few changes and so they can still be built automatically. As it is I'm forced to either spend hours updating them to use the official bootstrap-sass or manually download a copy of this repository from github and placing it every time or write a shell script to do exactly that.

Can I suggest re-uploading this repository to bower using an alternate name?

Currently bower install "sass-bootstrap-defunct#2.3.2" does not work, it would be great if that is restored.

And finally on behalf of authors of the our (non-open source, commercial) projects I'm currently maintaining, thank you for having originally converted the Less version of bootstrap to Sass so that we could rely on a sass version of bootstrap and had it work nicely with our existing projects developed at the time which also relied on sass.

It would have been great if an official version was built on this repository and new tags were added but unfortunately that was not the case.

Issue #143 gives context to this issue.
