Obviously anywhere you can download binaries can cause this issue, but it's a bit unfair to call Github a hot bed for it here. Their design encourages publishing source code much more than it does binaries. This seems more like a case of the binary differing from the published source, which seems like a solvable problem for Github but I wouldn't blame them for it. It is a bit interesting to see how they could solve this - a potential standardised build process where you could publish your process in your repo and Github would build from your repo source using your repo process and provide some kind of 'guaranteed' binaries. Not easy by any means but it'd be interesting to see them give it a go. That said, they should probably just keep focused on the diffable stuff really.
