Yes, automated builds of pull requests would be awesome. But that would involve the creation of new infrastructure. I'm not prepared to run code on the build server, as root (as you know, MacPorts runs as root), that has not been tested by any MacPorts-vetted contributor. So we need sandboxes -- pristine virtual machines which we can clone, do the build, then discard.
