Since we've been paring down unused services in infrastructure recently, I'm
inclined to wait for a need to arise/the translation community to ask for
a new service before deploying something new. While theoretically someone
in infrastructure could step forward to sponsor a zanata testing instance
onto publictest boxes, it doesn't seem like a good use of time unless it
addresses some need within Fedora....

I am inclined to agree with Toshio.
While there's obviously some bumps we ran into in the transition to
using tx.net's infrastructure this past release, I am almost certain
we'd run into issues transitioning to another platform, so I'd really
want to see compelling reasons why
tx.net doesn't work.
In addition, getting a new platform up and going takes a lot of time.
For instance, Insight has taken more than a year, and at least the
base package was already in Fedora.
