Eelco wrote recently, that the current approach reached a limit. Maybe
working with more branches containing fewer changes and distributing the
build load to different hydras could work.

At this point I'm interested in how much work is involved in setting up
and maintaining hydra and what resources hydra currently has which we
drive to a limit.

I'm not sure of the powers of 'nix-store --verify-path', but so far I
was under the (wrong) impression, that nix has methods that do not
require trust into the build farm (provider).
