Time and testing.

For one thing, we need something that works with the fact that we have
multiple repositories on that same box. It may well be that these do,
but it needs to be verified. And t be able to give an overview. And to
be able to selectively hide some repositories. Etc.

Oh, and we need stable wheezy packages for them, or we'll be paying
even more in maintenance. AFAICT, there aren't any for cgit, but maybe
I'm searching for the wrong thing..

If they do all those things, and people do like those interfaces, then
sure, we can do that.
