Yes, I was wondering about it, too. Right now, I'm inclined to wait a 
bit, though.
Sourceforge still hosts many projects, and I'd like to move etherape 
only as a last resort, since it would mean having users to resubscribe 
to mailing lists, change download links and so on.
In short, bothering people excessively, at least for a low activity 
project like etherape and now that public outcry is forcing sourceforge 
to better behave.
After a few months, with the dust settled, we will be in a better 
position to choose.
