Yes, but some rightfully objected that creates lots of traffic. I
think it would be nice if everybody
sweeps their slaves contents once in a while, like weekly.
I also really like the svn info step.
I have seen ccomb has something a bit more advanced, but I have to
check that again.
Apart from that, I think it was your idea, that everybody should try
to trigger their buildbots at the same time, like midnight GMT. That
sounds also good.

Next week I will go through the current buildbot list and collect some
more information, and contact each one individually. This week I won't
find the time.

Best regards,

         Patrick
