Meta renamed their GitHub organization from `facebook` to `meta` without warning, and then someone (hopefully Meta!) registered the `facebook` account. This broke the automatic redirect behavior for repo clones and image pulls. 🤦

If that new `facebook` account isn’t owned by Meta, it’s also an attack vector as they could create repos and images matching the old names, meaning anyone who didn’t catch the rename would start pulling from the attacker. Hopefully it’s Meta?
