Which is a huge problem to begin with, how about we fix that?!Even if "we" (I assume you mean you volunteer?) "fix" that, we shouldn't use the compile farm, for simple security reasons. Hundred thousands of people have local access to the compile farm servers. Which means that not only remote expoits, but also local exploits can be used on it. The likeliness that somebody attempts to break into the compile farm is extremly high compared to a "private" compile farm of our own.
Just think of it, if you were a hacker, wouldn't you love to hack into the public accesible compile farm used to build a binary distro used by thousands, maybe ten thousands, of people?
Besides, root access isn't the main issue anyway. I do have root access on the SF.net OS X compilerfarm anyway.
