It's admittedly a grey area here. We use CDNs for various web |
| 22 |
components (packages.gentoo.org for example) and we use a CDN for |
| 23 |
distfiles.gentoo.org. Is Github simply a CDN for gentoo.git? Its an |
| 24 |
open question we have discussed on the gentoo-nfp list. |

In general I'm not really sold on the benefits of git as a replication |
| 27 |
protocol; while I dislike running a global rsync network the |
| 28 |
maintenance of the network is basically nil from infra's end and so I |
| 29 |
don't feel significant pressure to move to git. Could you perhaps |
| 30 |
articulate why you think it's important for clients to move to git? |
