The unplanned dropping of the granular vcpkg binary cache indeed fell into the cracks between Microsoft's various departments. The old method is now official dropped, without replacement either on the vcpkg side or the GitHub cache provider side. Without a granular cache, vcpkg is impractical for builds larger than a small dependency tree in CI, for performance reasons. A granular cache is critical for CI use. Building dependencies is not a goal of this CI, so a more desirable option would be pre-built binary downloads. This would also allow keeping job timeouts low, which is important for quick iteration in GHA when a flaky job requiring a manual retry needs all other jobs to finish first. (GHA often disregards step timeouts, which is another contributing factor here.) Windows remains tested extensively with MSYS2, curl-for-win, and via AppVeyor CI with MSVC + OpenSSL, and also in GHA via scaled back vcpkg jobs that perform well without caching. What's lost is the recently added Android OpenSSL build tests. We may consider building/cachine important dependencies manually as in GHA/linux-http3, and/or try integrating MSVC jobs with MSYS2 UCRT DLLs.
