Greg KH, like I originally did, may have taken the original quote with quite a different meaning than you intended. I originally parsed the quote as: Linux uses nothing else but github ... when you apparently meant... Linux uses github (purely) for hosting (that is as a mirror), not for anything other functions. I was /this/ close to posting an objection, when from reading the replies I realized the latter meaning was apparently intended, not the former. It would appear that Greg KH parsed the former meaning as well, and replied as I /almost/ did. It's probably good to clear up the possible misunderstanding either way, tho, lest any rumors get started about "the next bitkeeper" and having a big-name kernel guy refuting that is about the best way possible to do so. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
