>> "Why don’t we use this format for locating Git resources?"<p>Because everyone is already doing what your article is telling them to?<p>I'm sure there's a point to the article, but I found it strange that this call-to-action style post showed numerous examples of how this is already being followed, but only one - completely fictional - example of not following it.
To be picky, it should be "URIs are the uniform way to locate resources", not "URLs" - software, web and general computer usage today extends beyond the typical scheme format of "protocol://address", f.e. handing out a Spotify URI to someone, clickable in their IRC client, or even directly pastable in their browser's address field: spotify:track:5IsPWc2uTiVINs3Lfn8s9o
