Why would anyone ever need to do this?
Laziness? Why designate storage for a downloaded repository when you can just use the blazing fast company network to make someone else’s storage your storage? Systemically it’s fucked up, but individually it kinda makes sense.
Shitty CI system
They don’t design a system that does so intentionally. It’s equal parts ignorance, automation and cluelessness
Maybe they’re building containers every day? Idk. Can’t think of how that’d blow up into thousands without some sort of VM or containerization dependency.
