Re: "Major service outage"
#2Github is great, they're working on some serious problems, and every service has downtime.
But this is getting pretty serious.
This is the 3rd time in these last few weeks there has been a "significant service outage"
So much of a typical dev workflow is based around github, but more importantly a lot of new package managers use github as a base. Not being able to pull dependencies is a fairly big problem.
I will continue to use github, because they're awesome. At the same time, we're going to have to start building around it to ensure our uptime isn't reliant on their (less than optimal) uptime.

I've found it somewhat odd how, although advocating the use of a decentralized version control system, much of the git community has ended up heavily centralized on GitHub.

It is a distributed system. You still have to have shared remotes in order to integrate branches.

Many other companies are able to implement web services without the reliability issues GitHub has experienced. As your parent poster explained, some unreliability is always tolerable, but GitHub is starting to cross that threshold. Your list of fallacies does nothing to address that very real complaint.
