I fully support the proposal. It has little sense to maintain a private server 
when there are so many good and free hosting services for free software 
projects.

I am a long term SF.net user, with all my projects hosted there and I'm very 
happy with the service. Nothing to say about the advertising, either.

About other options, we are already using some Savanna services (mailing list 
and download area), but it also offers now SVN and Git:
