Indeed, only big free software silos manage to fight this push off (think Gnome, KDE, Debian, FreeBSD... and even some of those are partially pulled in like Ubuntu, which even had its own hosting platform in Launchpad.net).

I like to say that I was a free software developer before github, which means that I never really participated in it, but I frequently feel excluded when I am asked for my github profile ("sorry, there is nothing there, but I can point you at a dozen other repos...").

I am still resisting, but who knows for how long :)
