I’m very hesitant to do this. Bugzilla has long been a target for spam (aka
porn) and I don’t want to make it easy for that use. I would suggest making
anything larger available via a link.

I just tried to attach something (~2MB) and it failed (max size
allowed 1MB). Was that lowered again?
See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33126

My $0.02:
1) I think the max attachment size is too low. Large part of
interesting compile time testcases exceeds that size.

2) When we tell people to use an external service, there are no
guarantees the link will be persistent, as LLVM doesn't control it.
Somebody decides to delete his drive/dropbox account and the testcase
is lost. I'd like to have a permanent record, if possible, so having
the test uploaded on bugzilla directly is convenient.

3) The spam problem IMHO should be fixed independently. Also, the
automatic registration has been disabled for quite a while, so that
should've been somehow mitigated.

Cheers,
