Just noting that while the PR support in Buildbot 0.9 is definitely a
nice feature, we can't use it directly in its current form, as we
promise folks contributing workers to the BuildBot fleet that we'll
only run approved code on their systems. Since PRs contain
*un*approved code, we'd need the Buildbot trigger to be a "test this
on the Buildbot fleet" comment from a reviewer with merge privileges,
rather than something that happens automatically for every PR.

The other reason an approach like that would be better for us is that
for the majority of changes, the risk of cross-platform compatibility
issues is genuinely low, so it makes more sense to go with pre-merge
CI on Linux and Windows, and only run post-merge testing across the
entire fleet)

Cheers,
Nick.
