It's cute idea but most people don't want to host their own stuff.

And if they are using 3rd parties to host their stuff, inevitable 1-3 big players will show up offering that as a service.

And even if you do host your own stuff to avoid availability problems, the big actors can still fail just like GH and you can't do shit coz your dependencies need it.

So the solution is same as it is now, proxy or mirror everything you use
