The community reacted and SF listened and changed course.

We don't know what SF will do in the future, but we don't know what
github/etc will do in the future either.

What I do approve of, is that SF is run on open-source software. For
example github is a proprietary, closed-source service. By using
github you are approving of such actions. Dependency on proprietary,
closed-source software, on either side of the http connection, will
always come back to bite you. Whether this is important to the whole
nitros9 community I don't know. Those who do the work get to decide.
