Announcing unlimited free private repos

The problem is - hosting repos, especially private ones, is not a 'complementary service' for Github. It's the core of their offer.

Edit: example - Google paying for Chrome, Android - this is 'complementary'. Google giving away free personal ads on search ... 'core'. MSFT giving away free dev tools, Bing search - complementary. Giving away 'Windows Home' for free ... 'core'.

Github's core offering is not small private repos with max 3 contributors.

But it isn't a complement either. This is a classic loss leader.

Having my personal projects on the same platform as my professional ones is complementary.

So is having cheap milk at the same grocery store you get bread at.
