I'm actually hoping they bring something into GH for business/enterprise that is better, or as good as TFS or JIRA... I like TFS, but non-VS projects are a pain... and JIRA is just well, not pleasant at all.

Once they have some sort of better issue tracking system, then migration tooling will become another big issue in that space.. getting from SVN+JIRA or TFS itself would be really useful to a lot of orgs, willing to pay. Something between TFS and Axosoft's OnTime would be pretty nice as an addition to GH.

Another area with a lot of potential would be a CI/CD toolset that uses your own cloud.. EX: you use api keys for Azure, GCE, AWS, DO etc, and then you can setup testing/limits and Github could just manage the provisioning of the test servers, and ease setup/deployment of test/stage/prod classes of servers for multiple languages.

GH wouldn't have to manage a huge infrastructure itself, just build/sell tooling that extends it's current product line.
