[Patches] Re: [Python-Dev] Let's use the SourceForge Patch Manager

[Paul Prescod]

I don't want to be paranoid, but are we putting any important
information into SourceForge that we are not backing up elsewhere? I
mean okay, we've all got CVS dumps, but if it went away (DOJ antitrust
suit...) would we have backups of our patches, bugs, wish lists and so
forth? I hope that's a criteria in deciding what services to move to
SourceForge. I am in the business of preserving investments in data and
of telling customers to avoid software that does not keep them in
complete control of their data. SF makes me nervous that way....
