I'd see an even more strict approach: A platform Exim should support
needs
- a constantly working buildfarm animal with a responsive maintainer
- to provide a system where the developers can login, compile and
test (on a on demand base at least), as I do not see us fixing
things for platforms where the only feedback comes from the
buildfarm output
