So for multiplying this by 8, I would have to create 48 lines of Apache configuration, and use 24 TCP ports. This can be done, but it would take some time to implement. And who is going to look at the 24 pages?
This last point is the most important, I think. Most of the time I look at Twisted's buildbot, it's to see at a glance which, if any, builds are broken. I think this is the #1 use case. Second is getting the details of what broke, and who broke it. So massively multiplying the pages seems counter-productive to me. I suspect there's nearly as much advantage to running randomised tests on just one platform as there is on many, so a good trade-off may be to just add one more builder (to each branch) that does -r on just one platform. I'm assuming most of the issues randomisation exposes aren't platform-dependent. -Andrew.
