Could rollout of patches be automated in some fashion, so that a 
previously-green tree becoming red could trigger a rollout of the last checkin?

On the other hand, I've noticed that the varying speed of the various build 
bots makes it difficult to assess which patch might have triggered a break.  
It's not uncommon for some machines to be several patches behind others, and 
long test runs further exacerbate the problem.
