Why does ST not use Github for STM32Cube?

It would be better to get any official updates from the official Git repository as soon as possible rather than sitting and waiting for the new official zip-file complete release. Also I'm ready to contribute my bugfixes and improvements to the HAL sources via pull requests.

Some serious

+1 -- GREAT idea. STM is already doing a lot of things right. This would be a great next step for STM to take.

>>This is embedded, you can't be patching flaws every week like Adobe/Microsoft, it's not a model that works well.

I could not agree more. In any S/W development realm it is a huge risk to update any portion of the tool chain.

For example, I updated MX to 4.11 which had a bug that trashed project configuration files.

As far as dog fooding, I would suggest that ST hire a small army of summer interns who can rewrite the example and demo projects to use MX. There seems to be a paucity of examples projects from ST that use it.
