FWIW, I agree with that: leaving buildfarm members red for any sustained
amount of time is a bad practice. Code cleanliness is something we can
argue about at leisure, but if you have critters that aren't building
then you don't know what might be hiding behind that. We've had bad
experiences in the past with leaving that sort of thing unfixed.
