Ah this. +100000. Not only for the reasons you invoke, but for the memory. This is much more important. It's not related to the directory by itself. It's related to the #rustyweb (tune my talk with Olivier Théreaux at ParisWeb 2013). It's two folds: * redundancy * and domain name control. When hosting *only* on github our projects (which is indeed very cool for many features it provides), we indeed give up on opportunity to make the information more resistant. -- Karl Dubost, Mozilla http://www.la-grange.net/karl/moz _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
