[chef] Re: Re: [RFC] github.com/cookbooks

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Since basically everyone, Opscode included, stopped shipping cookbooks as 
giant monolithic git repos this account hasn't really had much of a purpose. 
Currently it just serves as a repeater for most part. Both librarian and 
berkshelf are quite capable of installing directly from git which makes it 
all even more moot. Is there a big cohort out there still using this for any 
reason other than "it hasn't broken, not fixing it"?
