No, it is not "obvious" to everyone at all. You can still see people here claiming that one should move to a centralized provider since they can guarantee nine nines of whatever, and that self-hosting is way too hard to make reliable. (Which is double irony when the centralized provider goes down and then the excuse is "well, that's because they're big!". If only...).

In any case, the point was that Github.com just sucks, rather than everything cloud sucks. For the past year, they have been down a couple of magnitudes more time than I have spent managing my server.
