But sourceforge has other problems. Their response to bugs is quite slow: 
they have problems with their statistic computation since last year. And 
sometimes the anonymous CVS is delayed up to 2 days from the developer CVS.

I also had troubles with the mailing lists with messages delayed up to 4 
days (but gnu.org already trained us to this).

The website hosting is interesting: they are much more flexible (support of 
php and locally installed software), but pages are served quite slowly.

What would RMS think of hosting an official project on a commercial server?

JNode, which is hosted there, whas considering whether to search for 
another hosting server.

All in all sourceforge is a good place for projects, although I'm not sure 
what will happen in the long range: they are more and more pushing their 
commercial services.

Sounds interesting. Is it a problem or rather a solution (e.g. with the 
cryptographic stuff) to host Classpath outside of the U.S.A?
