IMHO it would be a waste of very powerful and valuable hardware (and admin
time) to have too many obscure, niche systems that most users are never
going to use.

Allowing many users to run large builds in parallel for software like GCC
and LLVM seems like a better user of resources than installing toys that
need lots of admin time and custom setup.
