It has been a while that QA does not keep up (admittedly due to the
core-updates merge):
   Builds for new patch series suspended as master branch substitute 
availability is low for: armhf-linux 

As I think we would like to rely rather more on QA than in the past,
we will need additional build power. For instance right now, the x86 machines
of bordeaux are more than keeping up (I say a build plan of size less then
256), while the ARM machines are completely busy.

So buying a few new machines does sound like a good idea.

Alternatively, we may consider to move existing machines from ci to
bordeaux and drop building the ARM packages twice. Redundancy is good,
and we argued that this would help checking for reproducibility. But I
doubt anybody does this already for x86.
