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.
