Kind of funny that despite its users using a DVCS, a huge swath of developers can't VCS because a single point of failure they've opted into.

I hear what you're saying, and probably a large number of developers are just shrugging and thinking, "let me know when it's back up".

But remember, that also a large part of what github offers is not directly available in git. e.g. pull requests, issues, wiki, continuous xyz, etc. A lot of planning activities and "tell me what I need to do next" kind of things are not tracked in git itself (of course).

So there's more to it than just the quip, "git is a distributed version control system". The whole value of github is more than just git commits.
