This proved to be a somewhat limiting factor, since paid services like DNS have to be covered by maintainers (as in ancient times, when city celebrations were paid by randomly elected officials personally), and some other services like hosting for the NUT CI farm have to be solicited "Please let us crash here for free, until we can thank you back!"
