This has nothing to do with tools running on a server. The "compiler as a service" phrase they were using apparently misled people into thinking it had something to do with "software as a service", which is why they aren't using it anymore. It's about allowing external programs to plug into the compiler pipeline and reuse its syntactic and semantic analysis capabilities.
