I appreciate you think you have, but you haven't. Appeals to vauge lofty notions of digital soverignty and other political values is not what i'm looking for and doesn't really mean much. I'm more looking for a threat model. What does the network accomplish? What are its limits? What are its intended properties?

That seems unlikely (at least as it stands now). Pretty sure it would be much easier to DoS the entire radicle network than to DoS github. It all depends on who you think your attacker is. Github has an excellent track record of standing up to china (for example nytimes archive on github is primarily about bypassing the great firewall of china) it is much weaker on DRM circumvention. All these things depend on how you define them. If you don't define them, and rigorously analyze them, then your censorship resistence is probably wishful thinking.
