All these ideas like "let's fetch our deps directly from github" sound good until github is not down.
You have to fetch them from somewhere. If you are fetching deps from multiple sources, there is a much higher chance of at least one source being down.

That's subjective. In America companies tend to be referred to as singular entities, but in the UK they would be referred to as plural. Neither is wrong, just different idioms.

If only git were a distributed version control
It would be nice not to have to rely on centralized servers at all. A P2P/torrent client built specifically for sharing code from git repositories, perhaps?
I look forward to the day governments start to fund free software, for example through the GNU project. Then we'll all have better tools.
Actually, there were already some fundings. Germany funded GnuPG to port it to Windows.
What do I care what is the new world record in sprinting? But I very much do care about a new release of libreboot, libreCMC/openWRT or Debian!
I hope one day we will see peaceful international competitions between nations of who can provide the best/most used free software.
