This is something for the active developers to decide. And we have made that decision: we are willing to switch to a platform which makes it easier for occasional contributors to work with us. We are just looking for a platform that will fit our minimal requirements, which is likely to require some changes in even the best of the platforms. So let's not keep arguing about whether this kind of change in supported workflows is justified: we already made the decision, and I see no reason to reverse it, not yet anyway.
