Bad thing about github is that people tend to use it in a non-decentralized manner. In our case, all of our deploys do a clone from github.

That's true, it's a problem when you depend on having the repository at a specific location or depend on something that's not in the repo, like wiki or issue tracking, as mentioned in the other comments.

I just wanted to express my appreciation that github being down is not as big an issue for most people as it would be if github was cvshub or svnhub. :-)
