Thank you for the substantive reply. I love github and I do appreciate the macro level of community it provides. If no other community platform sprung up it's demise would certainly be a regression for open source. In that sense, I agree with what your saying.

The last line is where we fundamentally disagree, but that's ok. I think open source would be able to recover from the death of github without much long-term difficulty. It would be a painful transition, like all transitions, but I don't think it would be an overwhelming problem or disaster. Maybe I'm just optimistic.

Let's hope we won't find out and that if we do find out that you're right and I'm wrong.
