No necessarily. The chart team actually used the buildbots to produce
an OSX build for their CWS to allow _others_ to test (that cant be
possibly bothered to build their own version).

Well. Adding that and other features to Tinderbox prolly was what
ultimately lead to the buildbots, I guess. So both projects have their
purpose and needs they serve - the only thing thats probably
worthwhile is to have them share (more) code/machines/config, as the
internal workings are so similar.
