The former.

Agreed.

John, is it possible to have smoke.git.kernel.org (or such a domain)
either point at a server Ævar controls, or to give him a shell account
there? The point is to have http://smoke.git.nix.is/ hosted on a more
"Gitty" domain.

I like the idea of having it be a public Git repo since that would
probably make it easier to do maintenance on the repo (e.g., revert
"vandalism"), but there still needs to be a frontend of sorts
somewhere :).
