Well, if we have another installer provider who has similar or better
performance for things we care about, e.g. reliable updates, support,
_and_ is willing to host the binaries where we want them, we can switch
to them. While it is kind of disloyal to change preferred providers, we
also didn't agree to have them be preferred forever, especially if
someone better shows up. Of course, switching might be disruptive for
our installers uses, so we have to consider that too.
