I see why people disagree with this, but it's a valid point IMO, if not on a technical level then on a socio-technical level. From the perspective of censorship, it's (close to) the worst idea to have one centralized... hub (hehe) to host code commons (like popcorn-time).
But instead having many small hand-maintained servers, the admin of each is responsible for what's hosted on it, and of which there is no registry, doesn't sound much better.
Very likely there would be a handful of effective central nodes in that network, but if you take down a couple of them, you end up with a situation where already-involved devs might still be able to navigate the landscape, but for a newcomer it might be really hard to find one of those nodes, or be sure it's one with the "right" revisions.
