Thought experiment: Are pulling down a server and eradicating a source repository actions we can imagine a developer performing after receiving a visit/message from a lawyer and/or FBI agents? I find that at least as likely as nefarious actions by Github. (I further postulate a well-scrubbed email cache and the sudden deletion of vast quantities of porn, but I have an active imagination.)
