Hi Noah, you raise a couple of points worth elaborating on.  I'll try to address them in a blog entry.

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"?
