You should realize that the kernel doesn't have image and other assets that FB might have. And the repo obviously is the right place for them.

"The" repo. As if they had no choice but to put everything for every aspect of the business into ONE giant repo.

Hopefully they actually have some separate sites, separate tools and separate libraries. Or could understand how to use submodules or something rather than literally putting everything in one huge repository.

Whether to put images and other assets into git repos is a separate decision.
