I just noticed the big build queue on Cuirass, is that all for the
non-x86_64 architectures? (The change to mesa, if it was on the branch
before, is ~4k packages alone). Should we have waited for that to
get up to reasonable coverage before pushing to master?

PS: Andreas I saw some messages earlier in this thread that again didn't
go to others. Annoyingly, the debbugs bug number address doesn't go to
anyone (that I know of) and I've frequently missed or miss-sent messages
because of that. Just thought I'd let you know in case you missed that.

Thanks for everyone's work on this!
John
