If you're taking ideas then I vote for stuff like getting Buildbots up using containers so that we can download the same containers as developers and run them under, e.g. Valgrant to do local testing on the OS the container is targeting? IOW less volunteers and more structured, high uptime stuff for OS coverage?

Yep, that's the general idea. I'd mostly been thinking in terms of Kallithea's development workflow, but you're right, we could also apply it to enabling cloud based testing in the buildbot fleet.

Cheers,
Nick.
