I think this is a question of perspective: Having the master repository on GitHub doesn't mean you are in immediate danger or lose your "family jewels". IMHO it's quite the contrary: I'm e.g. sure that in case that something goes wrong with GitHub, there is far more manpower behind it to fix that than for any self-hosted repository. And you can of course have some mirror of your GitHub repo in case of e.g. an earthquake/meteor/... in the San Francisco area... ;-)
You're also assuming github doesn't suddenly pull a SourceForge (or a Gitorious for that matter). Business cares not what it steamrolls in the name of profit. I fail to understand why, with multiple examples of the folly of this belief out there, people are still willing to bet on *this* company being *different* from all others and absolutely safe to trust. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
