There are some recipe builds hitting the builders again this morning, causing 
them to fall over once more.  I'm not sure how this has happened since you 
disabled the feature and removed all the old buildqueue records.  Is the API 
enabled still?

The code may have been landed but it's not actually been enabled and live for 
very long each time has it?  Both times it was disabled quite quickly after 
problems were found.

One of the main reasons I am quite stressed about this is because people who 
use the build farm generally come to me first if there's a problem, and that's 
quite a lot of people.  I'd like to eliminate that source of stress. :)

How were Paul's changes QA tested?
