A bit later than planned, the new image build infrastructure I described in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2014-May/038267.html is now in production and being used for all new live filesystem builds. Hopefully the main immediate practical effect of this will be that respin cycles for the milestone release this week will be much faster as we'll be able to distribute them out to more builders.
There are a couple of features still awaiting deployment, namely builds from -proposed (needed for stable releases) and builds with extra PPAs (needed for the new CI engine). IS has a ticket for this and it should get done this week. This will have the effect of slightly increasing the load on our devirtualised build farm for the time being, because it will be assuming the additional load previously taken by the livefs builders. Fear not: we will shortly be turning the livefs builders into additional Launchpad builders. This will give us a net increase in capacity (especially noticeable on powerpc, I expect), since the livefs builders were not running builds non-stop beforehand.
