Yeah, I would say it solves it for me because I can't come up with any 
other way of accessing the Project repo where you would actually *miss* 
my note (since the URL entry for versions actually shows the note - I 
was under the wrong impression it did not).

So yes, this is what I now have done for all of my personal projects - 
thus hopefully making sure that people notice that the current repo is 
on StHub.

I am not the hostile one - Chris was talking about forbidding deletion 
of Projects. I was under the impression (as David Lewis also seems to 
be) that my account is my account and under my full control.

I don't want stuff on the Internet under *my name* that someone else 
controls - to me its obvious.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking me why *you* should 
think of switching to something else than SS?

Again, I am not following. Its simple really, *I* (=me) want *one* place 
to maintain my personal Monticello based projects. SS has a truly sucky 
track record. Reassurances that "its all fine now" doesn't ring true 
because I can still not create new Projects. Further, SS itself is not 
moving forward AFAIK.

StHub is IMHO better in many different ways although I am slightly 
annoyed with it being down sometimes, but AFAIK it has never lost data.

So I am moving my primary repos there, what's the problem?

I am not saying everyone should move.
