This sort of rolling release means that new submissions which do not
introduce regressions could fail to be verified due to the installed OS
becoming incompatible with the existing openafs master branch.  If we have
the tumbleweed machine doing periodic builds and someone is watching that
output for regressions, then this would be a highly useful thing to have.
Is there a way for someone to get notified when periodic builds begin to
fail (other than having that person remember to look at the build logs)?
