Exactly.  In my mind this eliminates almost all the controversy in
this discussion.  The question of switching hosting provider or DVCS
becomes something to discuss separately (and probably just drop since
at that point it doesn't improve much over the status quo).  Of
course, it does not address the more pressing concern of how to get
contributions landed more quickly/steadily. :(  However, that is
largely what Nick addresses in PEP 462. :)
