There are controls on the permitted input for forced builds, and if
anyone starts being annoying with it, we have the option of just
disabling it entirely until we set up authentication for it.

Requiring authentication for the BuildBot triggers is likely an
improvement we should consider in the current infrastructure review
regardless, though.

Cheers,
Nick.
