I talked to Vince yesterday - it was shut down at the end of May, before the kernel.org problem. Apparantly, it was announced on the kautobuild mailing list and there was no reaction to that either. As I understand it, it become uneconomic to continue with the effort, both on terms of running the backend (Vince used to run that himself) or in terms of developing a replacement (a clustered build farm.) Given that no one noticed that it had been shut down, that reinforced the point that it wasn't a useful exercise to have running (because, if it was, people would've noticed it wasn't updating and would've said something.)
