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

The whole point of DVCS is that everyone who's run `git clone` has a full copy of the entire repo, and can do most of their work without talking to a central server.

Brief downtime really only affects the infrastructure surrounding the actual code. Workflows, issues, etc.

That's exactly the point. This infrastructure used to be supported by email which is also distributed and everyone has a complete copy of all of the data locally.

Github has been slowly trying to embrace, extend, and extinguish the distributed model.
