Currently if you visit the xz repository it is disabled for violating github's TOS.

While it should clearly be disabled, I feel like github should leave the code and history up, while displaying a banner (and disabled any features that could be exploited), so that researchers and others can learn about the exploit.

In more minor situations when a library is hosting malicious code, if I found the repo to be down I might not think anything of it.
