No.

I'll provide for builds (cws localisation21) l10n TCM tests for Mac Intel X11.
AFAIK, translation issues won't be fixed after this cws is integrated.

No. I'm only interested in vanilla builds...If we mix something into
my build system other than build breaker fixes, it is a hack. I don't want
to provide hacked builds. (then, I should add many paches to release builds as 
well)
Providing packages for QA for some cws is nice, as sometimes I'm doing.

This is very good.

Also, this happens.

Right. Dynamic feedback is very important. Unfortunately,
then this is l10n issue, and  problem of how GSI files are integrated.
You may ask Ivo (ihi) about it...usually integaration of GSI files are quite 
slow.
and IIRC he said this is a very hard task. How we can cooperate is an issue.

BTW: my G5 is now becomes slow iMac is also slow. It took 3-4 days to complete
builds. Hope someone can donate faster machines.
