Git was designed to avoid a single point of failure, and having multiple *official* mirrors, with a list on the OpenNIC website, allow us to take advantage of that.

The same commits can be pushed to all of the official repositories. -- Jacob >> On Jul 13, 2018, at 11:31 PM, Daniel Quintiliani <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Even better. >> >> -- >> >> -Dan Q >> >> >> On Fri, 13 Jul 2018 23:21:52 -0500, Jacob Bachmeyer >> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >>> Daniel Quintiliani wrote: >>>> While I can't say anything about the specifics of this, as I don't >>>> run any TLDs, you might want to take into account the current >>>> volatile nature of Github, by specifically stating that members can >>>> vote to move things to other sites in the event of a problem.
