Though in an alternate universe where somebody's self-hosted server went down in flames (possibly literally), one could just as easily say: This is why it pays to have your own source repositories in the cloud. It is kind of shocking that many people with the awareness and means are too cheap to pay for a GitHub private repo. I personally could not risk a careless sysadmin deleting my repositories or (in this case) going down for any length of time. The obvious answer is to have both, but smooth synchronization isn't always easy or even available.
