Neither is needed -- plenty of other projects manage without them. There are plenty of garage alternatives on the Internet and developers can build their packages themselves and upload them directly to the repository.
Then you are willing yourself to do the porting of all current software to those services, and implement the autobuilder alternative to maintain the repos, I guess.
Or are you suggesting that we should dump all of our current codebase down the drain?
If Nokia pulls the plug, as it will probably happen sooner or later, what we have to do is to secure the transfer of those resources in Nokia managed servers to our own, and secure some fundings to keep those servers alive.
It doesn't make any sense this talk about dumping our current base resources unless we are forced to, either by being impossible to get them from Nokia, or by a complete lack of resources to maintain them.
