100%. GitHub is amazing. GitHub is a wonderful tool. GitHub is also just a service cooked up by a handful of jokers who got enough funding to make it happen, and they do a reasonable job of keeping it running most of the time. I wish them all the best, and yet making my own company's infrastructure reliant on it is not something I'm comfortable with. Sometimes they're going to blow it, and that's ok. If them blowing it means my business is affected, I'm the dummy.
While I agree with the general gist of your comment, GitHub was entirely self-funded up until about a year ago or so. they didn't "get" funding, they made real money and reinvested it and grew.
Fine, bootstrapping jokers are my favorite kind of jokers. No offense intended. My point is it's just a small company with no SLA, express or implied. It could have been anybody with the same great idea, and just because they had a great idea doesn't make them automatically reliable enough to pin your infrastructure on.
