This morning I received an email from Github stating that we'll soon be
force limited to a 10gb cache size, and have the option to pay to upgrade
this. This is going to hurt badly, given how poorly the github
workflows already perform and how reliant we are on the caching to hold our
infrastructure together.  😱

Would it be possible now for someone officially to approach Github and ask
for special consideration for our project?
