+1. Besides, the proposal is to use the services of the ASF's largest
sponsor. The left hand may be upset about losing its soul to a free
service, but the right hand has already sold the soul for a platinum

Do you mean, by attracting people to a Google blog (the stand-alone
blog, not the content syndicated into the project's home page), which is
accompanied by Google ads, we are in fact generating revenue for the
ASF? ;-)
For the sake of independence and self-governance (or whatever is the
appropriate english term here) the ASF should try to be as self-hosting
as possible.
We should avoid anything supporting the stupid "Apache is owned by [put
company name here]" acusations.
