At Signal Vine, we've already developed the infrastructure around
hosting and building packages, but otherwise I would consider using such
a service depending on what features it provides and how well it fits
out process (and how much it costs, obviously). Bare hackage with
private packages wouldn't cut it; if it did, we'd just run our own
hackage server.

My thinking actually started with possibly running our own hackage server, but then you have to allocate a machine and take time/skills to administer it. So if a service like this is available at a similar or lower cost it starts to make sense.

It also lowers the bar for commercial take-up, by sending a signal that commercial users are supported, and allowing "toe-in-the water" commercial projects at low upfront cost.
