community infrastructure.  Nor do I see any reason why we should
reimplement when there are so many choices already out there.

As I wrote earlier today, to my mind the determining factor is whether
the slowness to India is acceptable to the people who do actually lots
of source checkins and updates.  If it is, then we're done - let's use
sarovar.  If it isn't, then we might as well compare opendarwin and
berlios, having come this far.
