The thing with DCVS is not that central hub does not exist. It is that you do not need specific central hub. That means if github dies, I can take any of my git repos I checked from github and continue working with them, and create a local git server that would allow others to work with it. Of course, there is a convenience value in having central hub. The point is not denying that, the point is turning it from necessity to option.
