It's not FOSS, ergo, we can't use it. It's as simple as that. That makes _any_ 
discussion about launchpad premature until it becomes FOSS. They've been 
saying they'll open launchpad for years now, and it hasn't happened.

Let's also not forget that people have to maintain that installation, which is 
not something I'm at all interested in doing.
