The rationale is that there are millions of people using GitHub, and if do documents with their toolchain, we will get more feedback from developers than if we tried to draw them into our toolchain. I didn't realize that was what you were asking me. This rationale was stated multiple times in the GIT WG.

Interesting viewpoint. Did you attend any of the WG meetings? I didn't see your name in the mailing list archives.
