It's not gate keeping it isn't self hosting someone else is hosting it hence the self is removed. Should discussions be allowed sure as long as it's about the application and not problems with their hosting provider.

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be "self hosted"? When it's carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?
