An interesting alternative would be to have two sets of archs- tier-1 and tier-2, say, where tier-1's build right away and tier-2's don't try unless some tier-1 succeeded (or perhaps require that they all succeeded, but that might be excessive). The delay argument just doesn't fly with me, honestly. We still only push out to mirrors once a day anyway, no? Not to mention that it's unstable, yadda, yadda. Stephen
