In this case it may be Facebook running the show. But I was answering to the "this is a use-case for blockchain" point.

It is not a use-case for blockchain: it is (much) easier to get one or more third-party servers to host the repository.

Blockchain is a pretty cool technology, but let's face it: it does not solve anything (other than cryptocurrencies) that we don't already know how to solve in a more practical way.
