It doesn't defeat that.

It only defeats the project living on after I am run over by
a bus, since the project will be unable to attract outside
participation if it is hosted at SourceForge.

You can't cookie-cutter Open Source projects, at least not the
way they are trying to do it.

As I said before, you need to read my objections in the
-current and -advocacy lists.

Realize that I have participated in the genesis of no less
than 5 open source projects, 4 of which are still going.
