Not before we run into a serious dead end, I think.  I don't mean to say
that I understand my point, either.  It just feels like if we are using
a free offering, we might want to think about what in our project would
be useful for making GitLab think it is a good idea hosting us.  I have
a vague feeling that there is some opportunity for social engineering.
I cannot entirely vouch for it since my specialty is more social
demolition.
