If github were to go down, all you would have to do is use a command
similar to the one given in the first message of this thread to switch
upstream to another location. I would argue that there really isn't a
hard dependency on github in the same way there would be if they were
using some centralized vcs such as svn.
I think this is a pretty weak argument for systems that use distributed
vcs's like git.

If we are going to take this stance, should we consider removing all
packages from the tree that have their upstream on github?
