Or maybe it would be sensible to ask GitHub if they can fix this. If it's a common-ish use case (e.g. for mirrors), it's not something that should be terribly challenging engineering-wise, and it would prevent a lot of hooha. Funfact: GitHub is run and staffed by actual people, most of them prett

That doesn't make sense. If an API changes (e.g. in Matrix) and a program written against the old API can no longer run, that is a very different issue than if the same numbers (data) give different results. The latter is what I am guessing you address. The former is what I believe most people a
