Inquiring minds want to know.

It seems absurd. On the one hand, we have Wayland folks saying X is dead, there's no development, blah, blah. On the other hand, it reads like they've got a bunch of compute dedicated to CI and repo hosting. I can believe the bandwidth of literally every distro is configured to download source directly from FreeDesktop because of constant code merges. But if there's no development going on, why not just ask distros to torrent the code? Heck, even if there were daily changes, they could still push out torrents.

Bandwidth aside, what's all that CI compute doing with a stalled and dead project?
