I indeed don't want to keep lapwing up unless there is any value.  Note that it
started to fail on 2 branches after the last buildfarm client update for
reasons I don't understand.  Since everyone is complaining about lapwing
already I will just turn it off.  If anyone is interested in keeping it up on
REL_13_STABLE until its EOL (so for the next ~6 months) let me know.
