Summary

On 12/15/2022 at 9:30AM, GitHub appears to have updated the certificate on their v3 API endpoint, specifically the raw endpoint, used to pull raw GitHub content RESTfully. The new certificate was not valid for this address and caused 503 errors for every access. This endpoint is leveraged throughout the pipeline automation, especially the release repository, to bootstrap the build-harness. These references should be updated to use the GitHub v4 GraphQL API which remains unaffected by this change.
