Fedora is not hosting its Discourse instance. And I think it appears
to be a general trend of no longer self-hosting the infrastructure we
leverage. Personally, I think that's a mistake that will probably bite
us again (remember Transifex?). But if that's the way we want to go,
oh well.
It's most likely about budgets and manpower. Many companies now have outsourced many parts
of their infrastructure... especially email - it's usually cheaper, and many companies no longer want to
deal with supporting it.
