Armstrong's concern about the ever-growing number of data objects is interesting in itself. He says Git(hub) is great and all but - paraphrasing - forks outnumber merges. At some point such systems become unwieldy unless there is systemic incentive to dedupe, merge, categorise or otherwise reduce complexity. This chimes with my view too.
