@dansup Unfortunately, GitHub probably will someday shut down, too. It doesn't seem like it's possible from this vantage point, but I remember when all my friends moved their stuff to Google Code away from Sourceforge because "well, Google is really good at hosting things, so at least I can be sure *that* won't go south/away." Well...
Until we have a p2p replacement for GitHub (and not just client-server federated), the situation will remain not great.
