MODERATORS
This kinda makes sense, corporately. It's technically hosting insecure malicious code... maybe they don't want the liability of redistributing that, even in the git history.
It also means that Microsoft has unprecedented control over the life of any open source project still hosted on GitHub.
If you don't host your own git server, this is always true.
