Let’s be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn’t switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven’t yet. Why?
My account has not seen a single commit in years now, and yet I can let it go… I still “need” it for support on an old project of mine that I share with other people, and to submit changes for projects I care about which are only on GitHub.
I also keep my account for name squatting purposes, and so people can find the link to my actual repo.
I don’t think I’ll go all the way to delete my account, but my projects are definitely not reliant on it anymore.
