GitHub outage - idle speculation thread

[alex at alexforster.com (Alex Forster)]

Github has been down for about two hours now. No good public information
that I can find so far, except that they mention a "network disruption" in
early status updates. However, nothing interesting is showing up in BGPlay
(like a shift over to Prolexic due to a DDoS). Their colocation provider
is Rackspace, but Rackspace hasn't posted about any wider issues.
