To me, that raises the question of why people aren't more concerned with the status of the build system. Shouldn't developers care if the code they're writing works or not?

The fact that we ask questions and publicly express worries should hint that we /are/ concerned :-) However, being mostly developers rather than system admins, and not knowing anything about the details of how buildbot does its work (not to mention the details of this or that particular buildslave and slave owner), makes us (at least me) quite clueless when faced with a buildbot-not-working-as-expected problem.

Antoine.
