I think that this proposal combines two quite different aspects, and
that it might be better to keep them separate.

1. Maintaining contacts with infrastructure providers that are willing
to help Debian. That's of course useful, but not limited to debian.net
services. For example, some QA tasks could benefit from access to cloud
resources.

2. Keeping our important services sanely maintained. Your proposal is to
sanitize *.debian.net a bit. I wonder if instead, we should have a list
of requirements for *.debian.org that does not include "hosted on a
machine managed by DSA". People would then continue to use debian.net as
they do currently, but once the service grows to something really
useful, it gets a review to ensure that it is maintainable, and can move
to the debian.org without necessarily putting more load on DSA.
