And in fact, why be so limiting, there are *dozens* of alternatives:

+1.
One thing I learned doing the gborg migration/shutdown was that everyone uses
the existing infrastructure differently, and the relative importance of any of
it seems to fluctuate on how much work they will have to do to keep something.
So my migration plan *is* simple, it's "NMFP". (Except of course for those
projects of my own which are on pgfoundry, which would be MFP, but I'm willing
to move them)
