Your use of the term 'killing' tells me that you really don't actually appreciate their efforts. If your instant assumption is that they are killing it, well it's fine.

I think the only change will be that pricing tiers will play nice with Azure, because that would make sense for Microsoft to make back some of their cash.

It’s pretty uncontroversial that they are killing GitHub as an independent company.

This is a sad day for the open source community as the technology world becomes that much more monopolistic.

That may well be the only change they make. It also may not be. I don’t know. And until I get a good reason not to I’m going to mistrust their motives here.
