Saying anyone who cares about Github now being owned by Microsoft is incompetent is borderline ad-hominem. We have seen embrace-extend-extinguish from MS before. Even if you believe they've changed there's no reason to label everyone else as incompetent.

That's not what I'm saying. The news has 0 relevance to teams, whether those teams care or not. Github was a for-profit organization losing massive amounts of money with stalled development and weak features compared to competitors. It's only major asset was the large community. It now has a many more resources to stay around long-term and finally start building better products. Your data is also 1-click away from being exported and git is already distributed meaning every developer has a complete clone. What possible issue is there to worry about?
