Correct, the move from Tcl 7 to Tcl 8 did not break Tcl code nor C extensions, and brought huge performance benefits. C extensions could be updated to use them, but the C string API continued (and continues) to exist.

They could just mirror all the git repos minus what they find objectionable. github isn't immune to pressure. They would probably like to sell a lot of github enterprise and whatnot in China.
The countries that show the most hits are the ones that have the most honeypots. Thus showing the attacks geographically, while cool-looking, doesn't provide a lot of value.

Maybe they could normalize the regions by including the ratio of honeypots to Interent-connected computers.
