Hi - (With my mentor hat.)
Apologies for the late reply. I am fine for this to happen. It is not unprecedented. For example, the Apache OpenOffice PMC was able to continue using openoffice.org since it already had a huge user base. While much of the domain is hosted on ASF infrastructure including PMC maintained VMs hosted on ASF Infra, a few subdomains like templates.openoffice.org is actually hosted via CNAME on sourceforge.net. What Infra and Greg would like to see is the PPMC members discussing whether they have trouble with Baidu hosting a resource a particular subdomain.
