Done. The fedora19 builder is now triggered by gerrit.

I don't know. Derek is the admin and would decide that.

My preference is to have the slaves keep up with patches, but others 
have different opinions. After Fedora 19 goes EOL, we could leave it 
as-is, upgrade to fedora 20 or migrate to Centos7 at that time. Having a 
Fedora slave allows us to have a head-start on RHEL/Centos 7. Once 
RHEL/Centos 7 is released (in 2014?), we might want a slave for fedora 
20+ and one for RHEL7. The discussion of the RHEL5 support timeline may 
pop up at that time.
