We do tend to do that for all the stuff we deploy now. The main
exception to the rule is Marc's stuff that's been in place for many
years which is run from his own, largely undocumented scripts (hint

developer.postgresql.org in general is a bit of a mess though as it's
grown from being the one box that did everything, and is now shrinking
again as we migrate services off and onto their own VMs. I'd like to
get to the stage where we can remove it altogether.
