Great to see important projects like Gentoo showing it can be done

This “Great Uncoupling” is well underway and will take us toward a less monocultural Internet.

Gentoo's Github mirrors have only been to make contributing easier for -I expect- newbies. The official repos have -AFAIK- always been hosted by the Gentoo folks. FTFA:

  This [work] is part of the gradual mirror migration away from GitHub, as already mentioned in the 2025 end-of-year review.

  These [Codeberg] mirrors are for convenience for contribution and we continue to host our own repositories, just like we did while using GitHub mirrors for ease of contribution too.
And from the end-of-year review mentioned in TFA [0]

  Mostly because of the continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories, Gentoo currently considers and plans the migration of our repository mirrors and pull request contributions to Codeberg. ... Gentoo continues to host its own primary git, bugs, etc infrastructure and has no plans to change that.
we learn that the primary reason for moving is Github attempting to force its shitty LLM onto folks who don't want to use it.

So yeah, the Gentoo project has long been "decoupled" or "showing it can be done" or whatever.
