Ah sorry yes I read the article, was just checking I understood the comment.
The workflows enabled by git that were painful with, say, Subversion or CVS, are significant. The overwhelming popularity of GitHub is regretful in the sense there is authority captured there, but the development of the tech (DVCS) means that GitHub is not *as* critical as before. For me this is something to celebrate!
Perfect? No way. Failure? Seems over-the-top.
