I think that it's important to acknowledge that in the larger view, it is not 
only likely, it is inevitable.

At some point Github will go the way of all companies, and this content will be 
lost. That could very well be 20 years from now, or 30, but we have to assume 
that it will happen. Just like Usenet went away, and Sourceforge discussions 
went away, and Google Code went away, and Freenode went away, Github will 
eventually go away. This does not require us to belive anything specific about 
Github and their motivations, but just the inevitability of history.

What we are discussing here is preserving our legacy for as long as we are 
around, which is hopefully a very long time.
