I'd consider Linux to be the culmination of some of humanity's greatest achievements. Certainly I'd prefer they found that instead of the average website on the internet.

Unless that website is Wikipedia. Another great achievement.

I really hope people that are burying physical copies of the entire Wikipedia are archiving the entire edit history and not just a snapshot that hides all the ongoing edit wars. It's a much larger dataset (terabytes) so they probably aren't.

Linux would be a tiny drop in the bucket relative to the rest of GitHub. I wonder if they'll mark certain parts of the archive as more important or interesting.

Yet just a vehicle for either running browsers or serving them content.
