A few months later, without any involvement or +notification from/to me, the projects were restored/opened in the "public +read-only archive" status from some kind of incomplete backup. I regard +these actions of Github as malicious sabotage, and I consider the Github +service itself to have lost trust forever. + +As a result of what has happened, I will never, under any circumstances, +post the primary sources (aka origins) of my projects on Github, or rely +in any way on the Github infrastructure. + +Nevertheless, realizing that it is more convenient for users of +_libmdbx_ and other my projects to access ones on Github, I do not want +to restrict their freedom or create inconvenience, and therefore I place +mirrors (aka mirrors) of such repositories on Github since 2025. At the +same time, I would like to emphasize once again that these are only +mirrors that can be frozen, blocked or deleted at any time, as was the +case in 2022.
