The codebase is subjectively cleaner than Tinderbox client, and requires unit tests.

* Buildbot lets us use machines more effectively by building in parallel and only building when a checkin happens. This reduces cycle time, uses less overall resources, and gives us a build for each and every changeset. Contrast with our current method of standalone machines which build as often as possible, regardless of whether there's been a change or not. | * Buildbot lets us use machines more effectively by building in parallel and only building when a checkin happens.
