It's almost as if big, single points of failure are not as resilient as a distributed web (or "bazaar") of independently-hosted sources. :-P https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows I promise I'm not trying to be rude here, and the GHC team may already utilize one of these models; I freely admit that I do not know those details. It's just I see this sort of thing a lot and it can sometimes be incredibly destructive to projects; the solution--hosting one's own git server--is simple, effective, and inexpensive. (I have one and it costs me only $3.50/mo so I have basically no reason not to have one.) The only reason I can imagine that the practice isn't more widespread is that people are concerned about security. A good host will make that easier, and after the application of a few simple rules a much more secure system is possible with not that much effort at all. Food for thought. -- Christopher Conforti
