Facebook was a pioneer in mass profiling of the general world population. Now Microsoft, armed with LinkedIn and GitHub, is in position to do the same for the developer world population. (Do you remember "developers, developers, developers"?) Microsoft needs to keep GitHub users happy and sharing and forking and pulling, and will make everything it can for technical excellency of GitHub.

My guess is that Microsoft will avoid crippling Github in any way (MS wants these millions of developers) and will try to funnel the developers to the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, Store, LinkedIn, etc.).

Subject: Microsoft buys GitHub

Hello,

I'm a bit worried about Microsoft steering the future of open-source projects' online collaboration and tooling with their GitHub purchase: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/06/04/microsoft-github-empowering-developers/

I wonder if there's anything we need to rethink in terms of our project's dependence on GitHub PRs, etc.
