Such as? We're filling a niche, this is one of our unique selling points, 
you want to throw out the baby with the bathwater!

The fact that it takes hours is really a failure of our mash process. Extras 
managed to deal with this in a much more efficient way: they pushed only the 
new stuff and then had scripts to clean out the old stuff (and a process to 
request manual deletion if old stuff was not being cleaned out for some 
reason). How much old stuff was in the repo was mostly irrelevant for the 
time a push took.
