[OpenAFS-devel] RHEL5 buildslaves

As I recall, the main requirement for a gerrit-triggered buildslave is 
that the build must complete within a certain time, say 10-15 minutes.

If we had multiple RHEL5 buildslaves and could increase throughput, 
would that be acceptable for being triggered by gerrit? Is latency the 
deciding factor?

I'm concerned about RHEL5 being neglected because it doesn't appear in 
gerrit.

Is there much advantage to having multiple buildslaves if the RHEL5 
builder isn't triggered by Gerrit.

I'm open to other options to reduce bit rot on platforms without a 
gerrit-triggered build.

Thanks,
Jason
