But you don't push to snapshot, it's just a backup method, it doesn't take any input from DDs (AFAIK? Am I wrong?). Given https://browse.dgit.debian.org/ exists and has tons of stuff already, and this proposal for tag2upload doesn't exist yet, I gather that dgit is already a thing that is used independently of tag2upload? I mean, that's how it was explained to me yesterday anyway. So I don't think this analogy works. One couldn't say "let's remove archive.debian.org, just push to snapshot.debian.org", but one could say "let's remove salsa.debian.org, just push to dgit.debian.org".
