[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Decommissioning the compiler build artifacts in Google cloud storage

[Philip Reames via cfe-dev]

I agree with Reid, both on the general usefulness of this infrastructure 
and the fact that shouldn't block you from retiring it if running it 
isn't worth while for you given the current usage.

I'll comment that I had been largely unaware this existed.  I vaguely 
remembered the original announcement, but had no idea this was still up 
and running.  To the point where I've written prototype code which does 
largely the same thing, and was using it for my own purposes.  :)

Can I ask how much this is costing to maintain?  Both in terms of direct 
cost and operations cost?  I've been toying with the idea of standing up 
something like this myself for public use and am curious if my ballpark 
guesses were accurate.
