I'm not a fan of this approach. Why did you build new, proprietary software instead of adding that feature to reprepo, for example? Why is packagecloud.io not giving back to the open source community when it's based on packaging tools developed for open source software? The fact that your software is proprietary means when you disappear, so does my infrastructure. I certainly don't like giving up basic user freedoms in the area of software packages, which has historically been open source.

Edit: to be less snarky
