I fully agree that nixos moving off GitHub is a nonstarter for technical reasons. The nixpkgs repo is enormous and has caused loads of infrastructure problems at GitHub over the years.
But the NixOS foundation currently has over 300K Euros in their open collective account. They get free sponsorship from GitHub for the repo and free sponsorships covering the very expensive build and caching services too.

@patrick @ruffsl Don't lose sight of the fact that Github is actually Microslop, and they'll do anything to keep their fingers in that pie.
