I think both will be needed. We are moving to Phabricator and having
areas developers can approve will be important. I am concerned if we do
not things will sit and not be pushed through.

I also think we will need tiers so we can manage the results from
buildbot. There are active and current BSPs we have no way of testing
because we do not have the hardware. If a user has a board and sets up a
slave to allow testing for that BSP it will reach a higher tier and we
have better testing.
