Its fine to say "can" in the context of "They may if they want to, but |
| 18 |
they are not forced to". |
| 19 |
|

Having a quality infrastructure should happen in parallel to github mirrors. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Uses may use the proprietary one or the opensource one. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
As long as nothing *demands* they use the proprietary instead of the |
| 25 |
opensource one, and there is a working path that is usable and |
| 26 |
covenient to avoid the proprietary ( which there is in this case ), |
| 27 |
then there's no real foul. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The only downside is realistically, if all users cloned from gentoo |
| 30 |
infra using git, then we would drown. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
"Ban mirrors" wouldn't fix this problem, "Ban github" wouldn't fix this problem. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So you basically *must* implement a reasonable infrastructure, and |
| 35 |
they can use github instead if it is more convenient for them. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
To an extent this does imply we're relying that *some* users will use |
| 38 |
github/other to decrease our server load. |

Meh. |
