Focus on hosting of software repositories, that's publishing and
therefore non-SaaSS.

Expanding the notion of hosting to encompass other computing activities
doesn't get them covered by those guidelines.

It's free software philosophy; SaaSS is just one of the means to deny
users the essential freedoms they deserve and need to control their
computing.

It's very concerning that you seem so willing to dismiss a key element
of free software philosophy, and so ready to give up our collective
freedoms.
