The fact that we ask questions and publicly express worries should hint that we
/are/ concerned :-)
However, being mostly developers rather than system admins, and not knowing
anything about the details of how buildbot does its work (not to mention the
details of this or that particular buildslave and slave owner), makes us (at
least me) quite clueless when faced with a buildbot-not-working-as-expected
problem.
