While I agree with you, the one thing I miss is the repo description on my news feed. Before I could have an at a glance view of what my friends were starring and hacking on without ever having seen it before. Now If I want to know what visionmedia/every, mattlong/hermes, or erichocean/blossom is I need to click through. It's not much, but it's definitely going to put an extra step in the filtering of signal vs. noise.
