The next thing would be is to list out the packages which has the
packages as the canonical source, contact the developers and ask them if
they are willing to move to hosted. We might get valuable input on where
hosted is lacking for them and we can finally announce hosted as not
being in beta anymore if that is still the status.
IMO, we should avoid having SRPM as canonical source if not entirely get
rid of that practice.
