git is distributed, and that's good. Sites like github that accentrate
all sources in a single place are bad. That's why psycopg never got

 In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood
  by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry,
  it's the exact opposite.                                 -- Paul Dirac
