Any notion of HATEOAS in the GitHub API is purely experimentation. With the exception of the pagination links, the rest of them could change format or be removed at any time (until something is properly documented at http://developer.github.com/ http://developer.github.com/). I don't think the Link header is descriptive enough, so most of them will probably go away.
