There is even bigger issue with git repos from github.com now:


I don't think this is a bigger issue because I don't see this warranting a default change. It is just an upstream protocol support change and we will update the respective recipes. If we don't, January will force us to. Maybe, we should have a warning in git fetcher for GitLab on the git protocol? I reckon it is reasonable to push people to update their recipes.
The issue I think is the size of it. When you consider just the main
branch for oe-core, this isn't an issue, but with all the release
branches people are still on, with all the various layers some with
various states of maintenance this becomes a bit worrisome.
