"if a repo is worth using, it's worth mirroring, and archiving. and potentially forking, too."

-- i just made that up.

(but we actually do, in fact, do all of that for our major dependencies like upstream OS's, build deps, gitgub repos, cm, etc.)

if you don't have anyone on your team that knows how ......... well, you should probaby fix that.
