I'm not major a CMF contributor and are unlikely to actually
contribute much in the future, so I do not and should not have a say
in the move.
I'd just want to correct a factually incorrect statement though:

On the contrary, it's state supported monopolies that are bad. github,
just like twitter and facebook, are still subject to market forces
(and hence neither of them are actually monopolies in a strict sense,
and just a dominant actor on the market, but that's nitpicking). As
they are subject to market forces they can and will be "deposed" from
being the major platform, if they stop doing a good job. Therefore,
this type of "monopoly" are much less bad than any state-supported
monopoly.

This concludes this political broadcast.
