It does, it's just that it... doesn't work well in practice. It's another case of "this works well for Google but doesn't translate well outside of Google". Plus, seems like Bazel is a very neutered version of Blaze anyway.

buildfarm takes away a lot of the neutering.

  Not sure what to say concerning buildfarm's remote execution. Reading an issue I've opened almost 2y ago [1], seems the backend requires the client to have a specific gcc version. That's a strong limitation imho. [1] https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm/issues/545 https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm/issues/545

    This is related to non-hermetic build graph, so the builds have system-provided dependency in GCC, and to make the build sane requires that they are in sync.
