#2309: Managing volunteered builders is too time-intensive for Zooko to have
continued responsibility

 Priority:  normal                        |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  dev-infrastructure            |        Version:  1.10.0
 Keywords:  buildbot volunteers builders  |  Launchpad Bug:
------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 As it stands builders reporting builds for unsupported platforms make the
 default buildbot (waterfall) view noisy.

 To handle this Zooko does the following:

 1. contact the volunteer buildslave owner
     * tell that owner we no longer wish to support the platform
     * ask the owner if they'd volunteer to support a different (newer?)
 platform
 2. reconfigure the buildmaster to _not_ order the unsupported platform
 builds, and perhaps to support the new platform


 Nejucomo points out that a policy that changes the default view to
 automatically exclude unsupported builders might be a good optimization.
