The categorised links at https://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ can be a
bit more usable (but the stable links naturally exclude the systems
we've never got working reliably in the first place).

An idea that's been kicking around for a while has been to start using
BuildBot's ephemeral test client support to kick off fresh VMs in
Rackspace for x86_64 testing on the OS versions available there rather
than relying solely on donated test systems. Unfortunately there are
enough unknowns involved in that that we don't even know how hard its
likely to be to set up without someone being in a position to
contribute the time to start figuring it out.

Regards,
Nick.
