There's some nice stuff here -- probably some of it that I'll use -- but most of this is targeted at organisations (and in particular, managers and administrators) rather than individual developers.
Understandable -- it's clearly companies that are paying the bills these days -- but a little disappointing given the extent to which GitHub got big by attracting lone hackers and little open source projects.
If somebody else manages to claim the small-scale end if the market it could eventually spell trouble for GitHub.
This isn't a random shift in direction for github... in the end it will make the platform so complex and irrelevant for open source teams that they will go elsewhere. I wrote an analysis of this shift some time back: http://hintjens.com/blog:111
