No it is not. GitHub is an intrusive closed ecosystem and it is legitimate concern for anyone caring about the open internet. The fact that I have considered D contribution more important than this concern and the fact that you consider such reasoning silly does not make it less legit and/or widespread. If you don't want these contributions - just ignore it, someone else will take care. But please avoid this pseudo-pragmatical "non-negotiable" bullshit, at least in public
I'd much rather use a closed ecosystem that is better featured, than an open one which is sub-par (especially if the data is easily available and thus in the future I could easily migrate to another system from the closed one, if desired).
But I understand that if one is a Free Software advocate, then one would have ethical objections against using a closed ecosystem, no matter what.
