Indeed, but we could decide for ourselves if it's worth spending money
on a large storage block in the cloud to let users continue forking the
guix/guix repo.  Assuming each guix fork consumes about 1 GiB of
storage, that comes at a cost of 0.5 EUR/year/user if using Hetzner [0].
Assuming the fork count more than doubles to 1000, that'd be a recurring
cost of about 500 EUR/year for the Guix Foundation.

A better option would be to teach Forgejo to deduplicate Git data across
forks like Github supposedly does, but I guess there's some challenges
to it since it hasn't been done yet.

One annoyance would be that users would need to create new credentials
just to test the demo instance; as I don't think the Codeberg IDs can be
used as an OpenID currently (?).
