It could be a number based on usage. Say 99.9% of the users use less than 5M files. So my pruning 0.1% of the user base they are getting rid of half the number of files, saving X millions of dollars in cost.
Nobody wants to cater to the difficult users that are doing stuff like this.
- hnfong 4y agoThat's interesting, because if your argument is valid, they wouldn't have to roll back the change.
- ggm 4y agoif filescount() > 5m then.. had to be removed. There is no quick release in a google scale monrepo and QA process.
- Tommstein 4y agoAfter that pruning, you now have a new 0.1% of users using more files than the other 99.9%. Might as well prune that 0.1% of file hogs too. Rinse and repeat until you have no users left.
