On utility of jumbo builds in Chromium - https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2020/03/30/big-project-...

Google announcing removal of jumbo support - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/ch... . According to my colleague who knows people on Chromium team the primary driver for the removal was a Google manager who got very upset after trying to figure out why his patch broke a build. Eventually he figured out it was due to the jumbo feature that added some small and very easy to follow restrictions on C++ code, but if one does not know about them, it can take some time to figure things out.

For getting jumbo to work with Chromium again - https://twitter.com/pati_gallardo/status/1352587508375293952
