I have no strong feelings about staying with SF or leaving, but from the 
discussion that the GIMP folks point to I understood that a project 
(like filezilla in their example) must agree to the bundled download 
program --- so, for now, as long as all our admins are committed not to 
agree to participate in this adware pushing, our users are still safe 
even if we stay with SF.
