Re: [ros-dev] Microsoft acquires GitHub
Because I track what MS does same as I track ROS, and many other platforms. That’s what they prefer to access MSDN, so I maintain the account. I’ve had a project as large as ROS, and other email accounts, deleted out from under me over the years, so I may be more cynical than the situation warrants, but it isn’t paranoia.

Re: [ros-dev] Microsoft acquires GitHub
No one said we don't need a plan B. We had a plan B before moving to github. In fact, the move to github only happened because people were assured we'd always have a plan B. Why? Because github's servers are in the US, and many of the dev team didn't like the idea to put our sources in US computers. I will proceed to ignore everything after your first line, because it's mindless paranoia. You do have a point about the issues, except we don't host them on github, so only the Pull Requests would remain, and i'm 100% sure if github becomes hostile, we'll have plenty time to make a copy of the data.

Re: [ros-dev] Microsoft acquires GitHub
No, I don't see it as pointless to have a plan B. It's more a question of when, not if, it's desirable, given past practices. Even with no immediate changes, github can no longer be considered vendor-neutral. Down the road, as example, M$ may well try to require every project adopt their code-signing policy or the project gets deleted, so they get their kickbacks on all the certificate fees that would entail. ROS doesn't require code-signing?? DELETE!! They did similar when they bought out sysinternals, bloated all their utilities with certificates, so that's a distinct possibility.
