It's great to see how open they are about what happened and how it got fixed. I also appreciate the decision to prioritise data integrity over site usability too.
Looks like Github could be OK after the Microsoft acquisition.

That actually goes against what happened; they seemed to have implemented an automated failover which resulted in a split-brain situation rather than letting one DC completely degrade to read-only. However mistakes happen and hindsight is 20-20.
