Sorry to keep responding to myself, but I thought that the following was
a great little analogy:

"A popular misconception is that distributed systems are ill-suited for
projects requiring an official central repository (see for example this
blog post). Nothing could be further from the truth. Photographing
someone does not cause their soul to be stolen. Similarly, cloning the
master repository does not make its importance diminish."
