Personally, I think it is great that we have a buildbot that tests so many configurations and platforms. This is a great tool and while there are issues today, I really don't think we should be ignoring them. The right thing to do was to report/ask here, which led to Sergio immediately jumping on it. Thank you Sergio! This buildbot is really there to help us out discover regressions soon after we commit, when it's easier to investigate and adjust, or revert if necessary. While we get annoyed sometime, it's still going to benefit us all. Let's encourage its improvement, and offer our help to its development team, rather than denigrate it. -- Joel
