There's no reason we couldn't test the water with some other CI setup
while
also keeping buildbot up and running until we find something that we like
better. We'd want to avoid a situation where we end up with *two* CI setups
permanently (especially two we don't like), but as long as we keep buildbot
as the primary until we find something better that shouldn't be an issue.
