Meta: Absolutely superb readme for an open-source project. Can anyone point to a better opensource readme today?
That said, do many see value is in this? The current stance is you either self-host or accept paying github's runner rates out of laziness. In the end it's all very mild when it comes to extra costs.
When things go wrong, you need people going through logs working out that there's nothing actually wrong with CI and in the end finding "oh it was a re-provisioning of compute", so...let's run it again and hope that goes well, actually no...let's schedule it for 11pm Eastern which probably isn't that optimal.
I can see it working for some, but horrendous for others. Maybe if you have burstable CI loads it's worth doing and re-rolling on failure.
Still, a marvellous readme. If only others in open-source would take note that this is how you do it.
