We're part of a community that has QoS, lifespan and support requirements. The ASF doesn't host important things on non-ASF infrastructure. Transient toys, fine.
You have a knack for saying your opinion as if this is the ASF's as a whole. As a member of the accused community, I find that very frustrating.
ASF code has to be hosted here. Website content unofficially has to be hosted here. Issue tracking is preferred to be hosted at the ASF. Some projects have had issue tracking hosted elsewhere until the ASF infrastructure was ready to handle it.
A news/blog? Nobody has debated this point and ruled on it the way you claim.
At least for the moment, we are talking about requirements to ensure appropriate levels support, and how to enable volunteers, not hiring additional staff to run applications.
This is a very contentious debate. Some board members are writing more strongly worded arguments (on both sides) than anything on the James list. In any case, the roller solution is a possible future solution, not something available today or even definite in the foreseeable future.
