Even worse than this: closed source SERVICE that can be taken down at any
moment in a split of a second...
Sponsored cloud services are a very dangerous drugs to be addicted to. Someone
else computer, like the FSFE puts it!
As for the work, again, that'd be on me for the setup and maintenance (though
not physical setup, but we can pay a service provider for that if we have no
other option...).

As far as I understand the problem you see is that a valuable service of
Debian might get dependant from a closed-source service, right? I would
like to hear the opinion of the poeple who are actually working on this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
