It's easy to quote stuff from the Developer Policy out of context. The Developer Policy basically states that it's OK to revert to a green state to keep the CI afloat, and it describes provisions for how people can work together to make progress.

It doesn't condone reverting a project's work without a reasonable path to fixing the bots, nor does it state that arbitrary people can set up arbitrary build bot configurations (on arbitrary hardware and arbitrary machines) and then hold project contributors accountable for failures on these bots to the point of not being able to make progress because of them.

Libc++ has a documented support policy and these bots seem to be falling outside of that. I'm not going to play games with you and pretend that we don't have to fix the issues on your bots: we definitely want to get that fixed ASAP. However, since these setups fall outside of our CI, are inaccessible to us and are clearly a bit unusual, we need your help to investigate the issue or provide easy access to the machine so we can reasonably investigate it ourselves. Without that, we'll basically revert these patches, folks will disappear and we'll be left without the ability to re-land the patches.

Once this is over: We work really hard to make our CI as good as possible and covers all of our supported usage scenarios. Please work with us to include your usage scenarios into our pre-commit CI, these events are a huge pain for everyone involved and can be solved with technical means.
