Although this approach looks rather drastic, we might should mention
this possible error somewhere. Do we have a page with a collection of
all buildout-hassle ever happened to users?

Should we create one? Can the Plone Help Center support us in organizing
it a bit (for instance by categorizing platform-specific,
error-type-specific, blah-specific problems)?

Best regards,
