How is having single server (I assume) behind a single ISP any less 
centralization than a cloud provider?

Another advantage of using the cloud is that it's much easier to make 
the foundation the owners (having all the accounts and passwords) then 
it would be for someone's private machine. It's currently a major issue 
and annoyance when there's only a single person that has access to a 
machine and that person is not available.

Just see what has happened to the DMD nightly builds. It's been down for 
weeks (soon a month?) and it's only Martin that has access to the 
machine. If you're in the cloud and get a problem with one machine, just 
tear it down and rebuild it (there should obviously be a way to 
completely automatically build the machine).
