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 :-)
