+1 .

Just to say I fully subscribe to this point of view.

github is _different_ by the very nature of being a distributed
system. If tomorrow github.com disappears, it will be very easy to
recover from it. If google turns bad, we loose a lot of history as
google groups is not inherently distributed and thus neither resilient
nor fail-safe.

I prefer the status quo to the google groups change. From my point of
view the technological autonomy provided by the OBF is a good thing.
