@@ -122,22 +122,19 @@ Siege has trouble going above ~100 concurrent clients because of its
 design (and ulimit) limitations. Its interactive features are also
 limited, here's a set of interesting alternatives:
 
- * [ali](https://github.com/nakabonne/ali) - golang, HTTP/2, real-time graph, duration, not in
-   Debian, mouse support, unsearchable name
- * [bombardier](https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier) - golang, HTTP/2, better performance than siege in
-   my (2017) tests, not in Debian ([RFP](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943733))
- * [boom](https://github.com/tarekziade/boom) - python rewrite of apachebench, supports duration,
-   HTTP/2, not in Debian, unsearchable name
- * [go-wrk](https://github.com/adjust/go-wrk/) - golang rewrite of wrk with HTTPS, had performance
-   issues in my first tests (2017), [no duration target](https://github.com/adjust/go-wrk/issues/2), not in
-   Debian
- * [hey](https://github.com/rakyll/hey) - golang rewrite of apachebench, similar to boom, not in
-   debian ([ITP #943596](https://bugs.debian.org/943596)), unsearchable name
- * [Jmeter](https://jmeter.apache.org/) - interactive behavior, can replay recorded sessions
-   from browsers, in Debian
- * [k6.io](https://k6.io/) - commandline JMeter replacement with accompanied
-   "cloud" Software-as-a-service
- * [Locust](https://locust.io/) - distributed, can model login and interactive

- * [Tsung](http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/1/01/about/) - multi-protocol, distributed, erlang, in Debian
