It's a very good point. I had a slight inconvenience today because I was missing one commit on a branch that I wanted. But I could easily get it from my colleague. If my colleague wasn't available, then I've only missed one commit. It's not a massive issue to just redo the work. When I get access to the commit I'm missing I can even diff my changes against it and choose which one I like better. Even if Github went away completely, we wouldn't have that much of a problem. It is important to have systems that maintain a copy of old projects, though. It would be easy to think, "Oh it's in Github. I don't have to worry about it." But that's stupid, of course (not that it will stop people from doing it...)
