Github is a large bloated organization that&#x27;s slow to move, more news at 6.<p>I don&#x27;t see how it should shock anyone that its taken Github 29 days to respond.  Github can&#x27;t move at the speed of say, an open source project with a hand full of contributors.  They&#x27;re a company of 100s of people.  And the larger an organization is, the harder it gets to make a decision about anything, because more people have to agree. In this case, they have to agree about how to respond to open criticism while saving PR face, which is a difficult task.<p>I&#x27;m fairly confident that the stink this whole Dear Github thing has raised will result in positive changes of some kind, but let&#x27;s be real, Github is still just a corporation that faces a lot of the same problems other corporations face. They&#x27;re probably scrambling to get a whole bunch of people to agree on what it is they should do.
