        <div>I can not speak for every contributor, but there is a lot
          more to contributing to a project than the end result. Many
          contributors take pride in their contributions and these days,
          one's GitHub contributions have value in the job market. A
          wholesale removal of the git history by Sugar Labs does not
          send a very welcoming message to past or future contributors.
          On a more mundane level, the lack of history means as a
          developer I have no way of knowing whom to ask for help.</div>
