Regardless of what protocols (‘git’ or otherwise) the IETF decides to use for
document management, we should be using our own servers for this - not those
belonging a third party. We need to be confident that this is going to
survive the next recession :-) :-(
github is down because of a massive DDOS attack from China. The details
are online. If anyone needs, I can locate the information again and post it.
Anyone, including the IETF could be the subject of a DDOS attack. So, in
this instance, the real problem is not because its a outside server.
