I think there are different kinds of commercial users, some of us just want
to use it for internal projects so there is no conflict.

In terms of distracting from the core mission of haskell.org, I can
understand the viewpoint. Personally I do not mind who provides such a
service so long as it plays well with hackage. I wanted to start the
discussion wrt haskell.org so it can go forward in a neutral way.
