    Not part of GCP. Yes they have a history of shutting down free services but things in GCP don't get shut down, they are products, products people pay for.

    2. macOS isn't a distro, so you can't just say "let your distro maintainers do it". If you don't submit to MacPorts, the only way you'll get in there is if someone else steps up to submit on your behalf, but th
