Yesterday almost 18.000 derivations were added, and even if only 10.000
were built, it is indeed quite substantial.

Adding some sort of "post build" hook to Cuirass that would trigger an
SHW archival would be possible, even though it would require to
implement this mechanism.

Having a cron job archiving missing references would also be possible I
guess, but I may have a preference for the first option.
