Those are good reasons.  Basically, I think Free Software projects
should have hosting provided by a charitable organization with Free

I am really unclear on the troubles with people getting osgeo accounts
(have had one for years), but it seems that if that's a reason to use a
proprietary hosting service then it's better to fix the problem.
