FYI, I can't completly check it out (and couldn't before your changes  
either):

Actually, projects like ScummVM and Fink do *not* do this automatic  
syncing anymore for years :). Since these projects use  
SourceForge.net, every team member can update the website anyway (all  
have SSH access). So the "convenience" bonus is negligible. On the  
other hand, being able to control when precisely an update happens  
can be very useful at times. E.g. when preparing for a release.
