I see. In other projects I've worked on, the configuration of a build
farm has been driven by some list of platforms that were considered
important to support.

Is that the case here as well? I.e., is the build-farm population
just a convenient proxy for some other source of information regarding
what platforms are important?

Apologies if my questions are so basic that I can find the answers
elsewhere. I'll happily follow any RTFM links.

Thanks again,
Christian
