It's admittedly a grey area here. We use CDNs for various web
components (packages.gentoo.org for example) and we use a CDN for
distfiles.gentoo.org. Is Github simply a CDN for gentoo.git? Its an
open question we have discussed on the gentoo-nfp list.

In general I'm not really sold on the benefits of git as a replication
protocol; while I dislike running a global rsync network the
maintenance of the network is basically nil from infra's end and so I
don't feel significant pressure to move to git. Could you perhaps
articulate why you think it's important for clients to move to git?
