  This is what we need (recently learned about it). I wish this had more traction and progressed more quickly. Though of course it is a good thing not to rush the specification.

  This is just a federation protocol, so it doesn't really solve the problem: federated systems are just a way to make it easier to interoperate between a number of separate instances, but every individual "thing" (in this case, a repository) is still going to be hosted on an instance that can be taken down (and sure, it could be put on another one, but then you didn't solve the problem); what you want is a "truly decentralized" (the word "truly" in parentheses was a critical part of the comment you were replying to) and really hopefully "distributed" revision control alternative, not merely a mechanism to "enable interoperability" (the phrasing from their website) between existing services (which should make the issue clear: if no existing service could host the repository in question, then interoperating between existing services doesn't suddenly cause stable hosting to appear).

    The term you're looking for is "censorship resistant". China has been on the forefront of this, both in terms of censorship and censorship-resistance. Unfortunately for the mice, the cats are winning.
