I assume you don't mean these production systems are depending on reliable access to code in a third-party Github repo When are people going to stop feigning surprise at this? Being completely unable to deploy a new server just because pypi/npm/github etc. is down has been best practice and standard operating procedure for years now. Keeping a complete audited mirror of everything needed to deploy your product and only pulling code for production from machines you have complete control over is so 2005.
