I doubt github:fi is meant for just one person with a handful of
projects--most of us are better off just paying for the regular
github.com service.

The fi edition makes more sense to large corporations--think about
Union Pacific, which has a crap load of proprietary projects that could
never live on github.com, but would nonetheless benefit from their
internal developers being able to easily view, checkout, submit patches
across a variety of projects.

$2500/year is likely cheap compared to traditional enterprise SCMs like
Perforce or whatever 90s-era-piece-of-crap UP is using. Forget the name.
