Well, I addressed the "neither easy nor hard part" upfront. My take was there has to be a solution and that too 1 solution. In other words, it had to be fair. Second was the degree of false paths (term I made-up). This essentially

To add: 1. Github acquisition: With already dev-tooling play they have, there is a clear strategy here. I think this will serve them well. 2. LinkedIn acquisition: Not sure how it is faring. 3. Friendly relations with open source projects:
