Okay, maybe not an avalanche, but I might do one per herd (probably |
| 9 |
more sensible). I think this is really important stuff. We have so |
| 10 |
many incoming bugs, and so many variables that can affect a build |
| 11 |
(meaning things that can change, not environment variables). This is |
| 12 |
one area where we have the ability to clean things up, so we should do |
| 13 |
it. |
