> Git is decentralized. If Github was an svn host I definitely wouldn't have been ok with it or hosted anything FOSS on it.
The most sticky part of Github is the social network that lives in issues, pull requests, and repository permissions. This is all entirely centralized, and it is scary how heavily the community relies on it.
So in practice, results in just as closed of a system as SVN. And it doesn't matter if you're "ok with it". GH is where all the people and projects are. If you want to participate, you have no choice.
