conspiracy theory:

GH is Microsoft's ploy to kill open source once and for all by facilitating burnout.

(obviously false, but entertaining to think about)

What makes it “obvious”? They tried to kill Linux and Open Source. I will never forgive them, and I sure as hell would never trust them not to try again.

Such conspiracies are hard to hide, so it seems quite unlikely to me (and GH was sort of like this before the MS acquisition, no?)
