I think an interesting question is how likely it is that some of the great firewall is compromised.

(It could be by some party outside of China, or by some group inside of the Chinese government that does not have an official mandate to use it for things like the Github attack)

Extremely unlikely. GFW is, ironically, considered "critical infrastructure" and is closely monitored.

Ironically? How is it ironic that a centerpiece of the he Chinese Government's control and monitoring of information is considered critical infrastructure and closely monitored by the Chinese Government?

I was saying "ironic" as this article classifies GitHub as important infrastructure. But anyway I totally agree with you.
