I'm mildly surprised that "get someone else to host this for 'free'"
isn't one of the reasons. I'm assuming there's plenty of headroom on
Gentoo's git servers to handle the influx of git requests that would
likely be a side effect of this change?
Most of the mirrored repositories aren't on Gentoo git server. This is
part of the problem, because we're already seeing git incompatibilities
between Codeberg and GitHub.
Ah, this makes a lot of sense. Codeberg in particular has been hit hard
with DoS attacks recently; I bet it has been maintenance-hell. Thanks
