I hate seeing projects move away from fedorahosted because I know that they 
want to be a premier hosting platform.

But all of the cons are very minor and the pros are significant.  Additionally, 
github would also provide a way for hosting some of the artifacts from the repo 
such as the HTML versions of the guide.
