Of course.

I think it will make sense to enable hosting an archive even if we
can't simultaneously enable hosting a browser.   

The current arch browser support is a bit resource intensive
(especially disk space) and fairly demanding of web browser
capabilities.  My instinct is that it is therefore not appropriate for
Savannah.   I think we're going to try to hack up something lighter
weight for Savannah.

Excellent.   Thank you.
