   The GitHub thing also isn't very surprising to those of us have been around in this space for a while. People used to tell me they hosted their stuff at Sourceforge and Google Code because they were sure those companies could handle things better than they could. I get that then and even now with GitHub, but I've seen enough to be skeptical.

   The Gitorious apocalypse is also evidence that a non-federated but FOSS git solution isn't really trustable either.

      I mean, GitHub sucks in other ways too. "We're the heart of the FOSS world! Oh no thx we won't give back our code btw"

      You have such a nice way of putting this. Thanks for that.

      Me? At some level, I've been resisting just going into certain venues and shouting "I *&%*ing TOLD YOU SO".

      Not that there's any joy in seeing something like this play out yet again. "Not surprised" is just about right.
