They're bound to run into problems occasionally, and so it happened as you said. For another example of where I think using SF would have benefitted us as a community, have a look at LinuxSampler's homepage. Since December, you have been unable to download source tarballs, because they experience a hardware failure. This made packaging a PITA, especially for someone as new to making .debs as I am, because whenever possible, you are encouraged to use the source tarball releases, and not a CVS checkout. But we had no choice. In any case, ok, I understand where you guys are coming from.
