Some of the responses here are kinda obnoxious. I helped kickstart the original letter and I&#x27;m very happy about this response.<p>GitHub more than anything has been a blackbox, and this was a very notable first step towards opening up. It should be encouraged, not shut down.<p>Privately (and some publicly), in the past few days, a lot of major open source projects were discussing a coordinated move away from GitHub. This likely puts that all on hold, but we&#x27;ll see what changes GitHub makes and how people want to respond to it.<p>Again, I&#x27;m very happy about this response, as should everyone in this thread. We&#x27;ll see in the coming weeks what it really means though.
