   A single Windows vcpkg cache is 2.6GB (>5* the next biggest cache). Our total cache storage limit is 10.0GB. It’d be good if a single Windows cache entry wasn’t taking up 25% of our total allocated cache. Maybe the vcpkg build can be modified, to improve this.

   This was modifed, but only for master (#32182), so the cache entries are still generated from any release branch, and bloat the global cache. Apparently this may be non-trivial to backport, so can just be left as-is, for now.
