     + numbers look quite bad.
     + a new negative record in terms of failing builds.
     + OTOH – gerrit is saving master from breakage
     + 70 more commits than last week.
     + tinderbox builds stuck on Linux builders completing
         + wedged the queue.
     + tinderbox build timeout has been reduced now
         + after no build output from 2700s – killed (was 4hrs)
     + new Mac Pro hooked up to jenkins – td81
         + need to tweak the ccache size – a low hit ratio so far
         + a full-build in 70mins
         + ccache in around 25mins
         + this is a smaller machine – a more powerful one coming.
     + hope to remove tombstone builds – when new Mac arrives.
