[snip] The most exciting part of pony-build, apart from the always- riveting spectacle of "titus rediscovering problems that buildbot solved 5 years ago", is the loose coupling of recording server to the build slaves and build reporters.  My plan is to enable a simple and lightweight XML-RPC and/or REST-ish interface for querying the recording server from scripts or other Web sites.  This has Brett aquiver with anticipation, I gather -- no more visual inspection of buildbot waterfall pages ;) BuildBot has an XML-RPC interface.  So Brett can probably do what he wants with BuildBot right now. ... but pony-build follows a different model

But BuildBot exists, is deployed, and can be used now, without waiting.

(Sorry, I don't really understand what point you were hoping to make with your message, so I just thought I'd follow up in the same style and hope that you'll understand my message even if I don't understand yours :).
