Description
Followup to https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/135 :
A user had a .pip directory containing a pip.conf file that pointed to the old PyPI URL:
[global]
index-url=https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
I think https://packaging.python.org/guides/migrating-to-pypi-org/#downloading-packages should include a heads-up about that. Once you figure out the language to add, and add it, we'll revise the https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2018/03/warehouse-all-new-pypi-is-now-in-beta.html#Migrating section to point to it.

Research direction
Start with the PyPI.org migration guide's “Downloading packages” section and review the linked pip.conf example showing the old PyPI URL. Add a clear heads-up for users with that configuration, then ensure the blog post's “Migrating” section can point readers to the updated guide.
