Most crypto work (partially mine included) runs on some sort of 'hope Microsoft keeps GitHub online' mode. Git is decentralised but GitHub isn't. Shutting down key repos is one of the easiest ways to censor or disrupt upgrades and dev coordination. And yes, Microsoft can do that. There are legit alternatives but none with full feature parity. It's already way too late, but we as an industry must really rethink how we write, collaborate, deploy, and ship code.

This happened to several important projects, including MDBX, the DB behind Erigon and Reth. https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx?tab=readme-ov-file#github

ya. afaict there wasn't anything wrong with the project itself, an open source key-value store. but the repo owner worked for russian intelligence in some indirect way & Github banned their account.
