There is an interesting stickyness argument that the only reason I follow @melpa_emacs on twitter is because they won't send the data via a zillion other technically superior technologies. Why not email, RSS feed, facebook, nntp, finger protocol, status.net, IRC bot, ... When the only reason your platform gets traffic is legacy/laziness, network effects, and random selection, you're in very big long term trouble... You need your users to be worried, saying things like "OMG if they closed I'd have no idea how to work around" not "OMG I wish they'd shut down sooner rather than later so I'd have one less app to check"
