I liked this feature, but I think it makes sense for them to remove it. To me it highlights the fact the Github has grown way beyond just hosting Ruby projects.

I'm currently in Rio for the Lua Workshop and many people here have said they'll be moving their projects from CVS or SVN over to Git and Github. I am guessing that within a few months Github will be the defacto standard place to host Lua projects just like it is for Ruby. Hopefully they have at least 50 megabytes of free space to accommodate all of us. ;-)
