It's taking a *long* time (and as I point out in the draft post, this
isn't any one person's fault), and from the point of view of
facilitating testing and getting experience of running something like
this, I think making a start and getting on with the job in hand is
probably the best next step. It will encourage other people to join
and start making their contributions, and we can always migrate it to
Fedora Infrastructure when it becomes available (thanks to WordPress
respecting users' data and making it easy to export), in fact I want
to do this.

"This doesn't mean that we'll never move to using Fedora's own
infrastructure, just that that's no longer such a pressing concern and
it can happen when it happens."

Should perhaps say:

"This doesn't mean that we'll never move to using Fedora's own
infrastructure, just that now we have somewhere to start that
particular concern no longer needs to limit us: the move to Fedora's
infrastructure can happen when it happens."

Or something along those lines.
