(author here) I am sorry this came up sounding entitled: I don't expect Google policies to change on this subject, and since this is not business threatening to me I just decided to write something I thought would be snarky and hopeful

I don't have a strong opinion on monoliths vs microservices, as long as you don't go overboard with splitting things leftpad-style, but I believe splittings VCS repositories result in a huge waste of time when making cross-micro-s

I do self-host a few repositories as well, but I do not set up a separate user: I just create a git/ dir in the home dir of the account I want to host the repositories on and put the repositories there. To simplify the initial setup, I
