Possibly in the future, but not under the proposal that I wrote.

True, but there is an important difference: GitLab (at least the
community edition) is fully open-source. So if we take periodic backups
(ie exports) we can do two things should the need arise:
1) Setup our own GitLab (and be it only until migration to another
platform is complete)
2) Extract the needed data from the export, as we already have it
exported from gitlab.com
