It's an interesting idea. When it all comes down to it, he's
positing a 5 to 10 minute build. I'd suggest walking over to the
build machine, kicking it off, grabbing a coffee, coming back,
checking your build results, etc. Up to at least 20 devs, I bet
that'd work just dandy.

My guess is that he's optimizing the wrong resource, using a huge
mechanism to do it. But it's cool and I hope someone builds it.

(I actually have similar concerns about CruiseControl -- I have this
vague notion that it interferes with communication. But I haven't
tried it, so don't know.)

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back
of his head. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs,
but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could
stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps
there isn't. -- A. A. Milne
