I know that they have to be apologetic like this, but the simple fact is that GitHub's uptime is fantastic. I run http://CircleCi.com http://CircleCi.com, and so we have upwards of 10,000 interactions with GitHub per day, whether API calls, clones, pulls, webhooks, etc. A seriously seriously small number of them fail. They know what they're doing, and they do a great job.
