You're joking, but a template patch or some other automatism that opens
the next development tree *BY* introducing new machine types would be
nothing to frown at.

Another option would be for Peter to delay opening up the next
development tree until he could immediately merge a patch with the new
machine types (posted by whoever, near the end of the HFF or something).
