If a buildslave crashes, the buildmaster will notice it and send an 
email to the admin for that buildslave.

And man oh man, I would love to set up a big Rube Goldberg machine to do 
actual physical-real-world testing.  Steppers turning shafts with 
encoders, motors moving levers into switches, etc etc.  It'd be awesome!

You could have two machines next to each other, one running a trusted 
version of EMC2, administering the test to the experimental one.  You 
could do actual closed-loop validation of the whole system.

Just need a patron to fund & house the test system...
