I don't know. I am frequently not logged in to Github, and I've 
sometimes been blocked from browsing repos, including dlang, as a 
result. There was speculation that this was being done to prevent 
AI scrapers. I don't think there's any way we could know what 
Github is doing to prevent this activity (and they might not be 
wrong if they do it, given the load it creates on their servers).
