> At the very least GitHub is going to get "FOR BUSINESS!" laced all through it.

That already happened, but with no negative impact on its public/free side. All we got from it are unlimited private repos, and limited github action minutes and repository storage in the free tier. I call that a win.

Also, the GitHub sale was 2.5y ago, if things would have gone wrong, we would have already seen the cracks.

Ruby devs abandoning GH is simply because they saw the writing on the wall that Ruby was not seen as long-term viable tech by MS. And from a sysadmin/SRE/devops pov, if there is one stack I hated supporting more than JVM-based deploys, it's Ruby, so I wouldn't blame them.

Let's see... it took them, what, ~7yrs to screw Bungie over and take Halo away from them? So, I guess it's still too early to tell WRT Github.
