I don't think that the requirement for bulk builds is unreasonable, and it
will certainly improve quality and regression turnaround. IMO we should be
able to find people to run bulk builds on all platforms we currently
support, with the possible exception of BSD/OS and UnixWare(?).

FWIW, pbulk has been running a HP-UX build for two days on my HP C3600. So
far there are 360 successful and 53 failed packages. I am currently
searching for a faster AlphaServer system (anyone have a spare and/or
colocated CS20?) to run Tru64 bulk builds. I would also like to run HP-UX
Itanium bulk builds, but have no access to hardware where I can run as
root.

I intend to start an Interix bulk build today, but will not run it on a
regular schedule.
BTW, has anyone considered the possibility of pkgsrc on cygwin?
