Is this
really intended? Since any reasonable Haskell project should use
Hackage
now, this would mean that a Haskell software developer cannot use
another
hosting provider or whatever to host his project. I think this
would be very
bad since the decision about how and where to host a project
shouldn’t be
based primarily on what programming language it uses.
My understanding is that yes, it will offer hosting eventually; but
this will be an option, not a requirement. Many people don't have
readily available hosting options, so this would make it easier for
them to contribute.
