The issue with Gitorious are:

 - many people on poorer quality connections are unable to download (pull) fgdata, let alone create merge requests or branches for it

- they have previously said we are in violation of their T & Cs and consuming an immense amount of their resources (it was not stated if this was disk, bandwidth or both), and that they would be asking us to leave. Then Gitorious changed owners and everything went quiet … and so far the matter has not been raised again, but I feel it is only a matter of time. This only applies to fgdata - hosting *code* is no problem for them.
