Right now all mail systems are wonky due to the latest virus, so it's
not always this bad.  But I do agree that the list isn't great.

While SF has its problems (the 1 day delay on anon CVS being another)
it's also been pretty reliable in the long term -- any one system
administrator (and thus usually any one system) will work great for a
while, but the administrator's attention will wane maintenance will
slip.  (Maybe in a weird institutional way that's what's happening with
SF)
