That's what it does.  Breakage isn't always the same across builds.  Waiting 
until the end to send a 'summarised' email would take hours if not a day.  Soon 
as the first build is broken the email is sent out.

If we had more hardware to build BSPs in a more parallel fashion this could be 
possible right now it's out of our means.

That is what submitting source for the repository is.  An opt-in to getting an 
email letting you know that your changes have broken something.

It's not very often someone is going to break every BSP.  I'd rather do this and 
deal with if and when it's a problem.  The only feasible way that could happen 
is if someone doesn't test their build.

The second way is for someone to submit code that requires a tool upgrade.  That 
can be avoided by notifying me that the tools need to be upgraded.

Right now all this work is unfunded I do have a design and plan to have the 
tools automatically build continuously which would avoid the second problem 
entirely.
