I agree, and I can forgive OSS projects still using it, but if they're inviting a discussion about it I'd hope they'd be more sensitive that:

  1. github is not static
  2. being on a Microsoft platform carries a significant risk (embrace, extend, extinguish).
  3. There are plenty of successful OSS hosted elsewhere and each one helps the whole system grow.
