Here's one problem: new contributors won't have access to the
third-party service and will need to set up their own indexes
from scratch, but the scripts or whatever to do that probably
won't be maintained because
existing contributors won't need them. It's healthier for the
project if anyone can just download the codebase and hack on it
without signing up for some third party service.
By the way, I think there's a good project in here and I'm
willing to contribute my 2c and maybe more, but I know I'll lose
any discussion in this thread. I'm following this one:
