I'm quiet happy that we are still running everything on our (community sponsored) infrastructure without relying on third party's. This has a lot of benefits, we own the data, we can migrate freely to an alternative and we don't rely on externals messing things up or changing their offering. A sponsored hosted platform sounds amazing, but having a vendor lock in isn't really :-) -- Jelle van der Waa
