 snowflake-reg-test.appspot.com is a frontend for snowflake-
 broker.bamsoftware.com, briefly used with a Google domain front. It never
 actually worked, because this was around the time that Google stopped
 domain fronting.

 transports/snowflake.git/commit/?id=947636ae817fdb393b4fcb2901bf52bca36cef65

 Switch to an Azure domain front.]

 On 2020-02-05, arlolra and I got an email saying that we needed to
 [https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go111/go-differences
 upgrade the deployment to the Go 1.11 runtime] by 2020-05-01. I tried
 doing that today, but got the error
 {{{
 ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [7] Access Not Configured.
 Cloud Build has not been used in project snowflake-reg-test before or
 it is disabled. Enable it by visiting
 https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/cloudbuild.googleapis.com/overview?project
 =snowflake-reg-test
 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the
 action to propagate to our systems and retry.
 }}}
 I tried doing that, but apparently [
 https://techtudor.blogspot.com/2019/11/google-app-engine-gae-will-no-
 longer.html there is no truly free tier anymore] and you can't deploy or
 redeploy apps without setting up a billing account. Rather than go through
 with that, I propose that we just disable the unused service.
