Once more: git does not require you to lock yourself to one "official"
repository. It is peer-to-peer technology.
To illustrate possible problems with third-party service: just yesterday
I've got an obscure error from GitHub. I've committed a file to my own
repo and got an error page saying "The repository is inaccessible due to
bla-bla-bla". And it was inaccessible, showing different errors, for an
hour. And I was unable to do anything to resolve the problem.
Do you think this is desired for the project?
That is why having more than one "official" repository is good.

Ah, interesting.... that is not at all how I understood that "OFFICIAL
rsyslog repository on github" on https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog . But
maybe you are right, maybe Rainer really phrased it like this in order to
say "this is THE rsyslog repo *on Github*, all other rsyslog repos you see
on Github and probably forks of this repo". And the "on Github" part
implies that this is the official rsyslog repo *ONLY* on Github and there
are actually other non-Github repos.... and if so, I don't quite get why.
Sure, I get the fear of Github disappearing, but while Github is here,
wouldn't it be simpler to just think of that repo as THE official repo?
Please see below.
If github goes away, it doesn't take _the_ master repo with it.
Right, because the Adiscon one is in sync, or at least that's my
understanding.
So if that is the case, isn't this Adiscon repo simply "Adiscon's
insurance" in case Github disappears and not something Rsyslog contributors
really need to know (or be confused by)?
Please read Rainer's blog post on the issue of why he doesn't want to be
dependent on github or any other third party.
Is there really a dependency is the repo on Github is *the* official repo
if the Adiscon repo is synced to it?
It's very possible that there will end up being another official repo on a
github competitor if that competitor becomes popular enough.
Another official repo created by Rainer? Would be a little confusing and
needless IMHO, but I may be missing something.
