The relevant criteria for GNU package hosting are the GNU ethical 
repository criteria, grade C or above.  As far as I know, both Sourceware 
and LF hosting meet those criteria.

All the other lengthy discussion about SaaSS philosophy in general seems 
offtopic for libc-alpha to me, and would better go somewhere else; I think 
gnu-misc-discuss might be the traditional location for such discussion.
