4. More testing on dogfood.

And I mean to not just put through a couple of successful builds, I mean more 
like 100 of them, using bad recipes, good recipes, bad permissions etc. to 
test all sorts of failure scenarios and different types of packages/recipes.

I'm really very uncomfortable about this feature going on to production again 
until this has happened.  The build farm is a critical resource and many 
people get upset when it fails.

Please feel free to talk to me about setting up dogfood as much as you need, I 
want to help with the testing.

Cheers
