My one piece of feedback is that it would be nice if, with this move, some
thought was given to a way that someone could download the entire (public)
repository for local use. There was once a script that used mercurial that
worked for an older version of the repository, but even that stopped
working after a while. If everything is moving anyway, it seems to me that
this would be an ideal time to look into ways to auto-generate archive .zip
files or something similar.
