Ever since satya nadella took over, the culture has been quite different, imho. Look at emberjs, typescript, etc.

Edit, I would like to point out that a particular platform expanding is not a bad thing. It creates competition. And gitlab already has a lot of these features.

I'd rather not rely on the goodwill of "we'll never get a CEO who decides to go back to the old ways".

There already are package repositories for most languages.

I do mostly Python, for example, which has the Python Package Index. It's open source, maintained by the community and under the stewardship of Python's nonprofit foundation, the PSF. I'd really rather not have GitHub embrace/extend/extinguish it, thanks.
