This is a commitment to do open source right. It's disingenuous for us to encourage well-intended developers to sit in pull request hell for an undefined period of time because merges are increasingly impossible and the "primary" repository is no longer "primary."
We're going to continue to open source code and contribute to open source. We just don't have a single representative, free-standing repository, and we're working through the growing pains of developing with 100 engineers. This isn't a decision we made lightly; it just reflects the realities of the current stack.
