315,000 repositories + 10,000 per day? They were obviously correctly concerned this wouldn't be able to go on forever, hence the pre-emptive email, and of course they got the response saying it was okay, but I really feel like this is the kind of thing that's too dangerous to leave your company sitting on because sooner or later they were going to be told "no". It feels too much like it's found a point of arbitrage in Github's ToS, and indeed ended up causing problems.

I suppose they did respond pretty fast, but if I were them I'd have liked to have had the S3 option in my back pocket earlier. Maybe I'm just being too risk-averse here...

If nothing else, I was a little surprised they didn't (or at least didn't mention) having a fail over plan in place already. Seems like "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best" would have been the logical game plan.
