@thomasfuchs@kctipton Well, it is. It just requires rewriting the history & garbage collecting all the orphaned refs before you go ahead & release it to the world.
If they were smart, they'd flood the entire archive with very similar but inaccurate copies, so that anyone looking for the actual info would have to sort through thousands and thousands of *almost* what they want.
@thomasfuchs Given that both groups are rich in not-terribly-clueful tech bros, I honestly wonder what the exact degree of overlap is between these two groups:
"Blockchain, which is the best thing on the planet, and which you can't delete stuff from, is just like git, and everyone thinks git is fine, so stop it with the FUD"
"OMG they can see what was in the git repo, delete it! ...what do you *mean* people can still see it?"
@thomasfuchs What’s the ‘so what’ in non tech language for those of us who don’t know what that means but who have half a feeling it might be significant?
