[Twisted-Python] t.trial.remote -- does anyone use it?

Hello, Trial currently does some black magic to support remote reporters, defined in t.trial.remote. What use cases does t.trial.remote implement? Does anyone actually use it? Rumour has it that it was originally written to make buildbot easier to write. However, I'm told that buildbot just parses stdio output. Let me know if you use it. If you don't, I'll remove the code (in my branch) at my next hacking session :) cheers, jml
