I don't understand what the overhead is. We don't run CI on user repos.
It's effectively just ssh:// + disk space, right? That seems totally
negligible.
FTR from an operations standpoint, it is never "just". Never.
If it was *just* we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Trust me.
To be fair there are also considerable costs associated with outsourcing
VCS hosting, mostly associated with integrating the external hosting
with other systems that need to work with the repository. For example
W3C's web-platform-tests testsuite is being hosted on GitHub and as a
result we have spent a non-trivial amount of effort on integration with
a system for ensuring contributers agree to a CLA, a code review tool,
synchronization of HEAD with a web server and various other things. This
might be less effort than doing all the hosting at the W3C (although the
reason we did it was purely that GitHub is familiar to potential
contributers), but of course it will all have to be thrown away if we
want to move providers in the future.
