It's not a problem that you're building various branches, as long as you
are expecting a bit of noise :-). In fact I applaud your effort on
expanding the scope of building others branches.

But it does raise the question of how do we best signal intermediate
branches like this, so they can be avoided until they are ready. The
blacklist doesn't seem like a great choice, since then I have to
remember to remind you when it _is_ ok to build it.

How about some arbitrary tag? Instead of checking a Signed-off-by, I
could just add a Dont-Auto-Build or something like that. What do you
think?
