Maybe putting all our open source in one place isn't a great idea >_>

I'm not sure that really changes anything other than at any one time wishing you were on the other side.

If you can have 1% of stuff down 100% of the time, or 100% of the stuff down 1% of the time, I think there's a preference we _feel_ is better, but I'm not sure one is actually more practical than the other.

Of course, people can always mirror things, but that's not really what this comment is about, since people can do that today if they feel like.

whenever somebody posts the oversimplified “1% of things are down 100% of the time” form of distributed downtime, i take pride in knowing that this is exactly what we have at the physical layer today and the fact the poster isn’t aware every time their packets get re-routed shows that it works.

at a higher layer in the stack though, consider the well-established but mostly historic mail list patch flow: even when the listserver goes down, i can still review and apply patches from my local inbox; i can still directly email my co-maintainers and collaborators. new patches are temporarily delayed, but retransmit logic is built in so that the user can still fire off the patch and go outside, rather than check back in every while to see if it’s up yet.
