Ha, why not? :-)
Seriously, we could maybe arrange for some notification to the
breakage@list. 'cause I'm not going to poll a web page for this info.

This sounds like one of the most useful features of this system.

Since the release branch and the tag are typically identical for some

This all sounds very great! I currently run nightly tests for
1.3.x. It would be nice to try being a slave for all trunk and other
active branches as well. Where do I find out how to set up a slave?
