Mostly for curiosity: why fedorahosted and not github?

For my job, I basically have to be functional in bzr, hg, git, svn, and cvs,
but thankfully no longer rcs, sccs :).  I wouldn't call myself a git guru, but
I can manage.

One of the advantages of the new architecture is that development can happen
independently.  I do subscribe to the principle that those doing most of the
work should get to decide, so if git works better for you, I think it should
be fine.  I don't think it will be *too* difficult to stitch everything
together for a future sumo-release.

No objections from me, as long as the documentation is updated.  Please submit
a patch or merge-proposal to update the ArchiveUIin5.rst document though.
