Are these publicly available and affordable? If so, let's replace the
existing seven buildds with two IOP342; it'll reduce the administrative
overhead for DSA/buildd admins and lower the peak time for arm security
builds. Right now toffee is six times slower than the second-slowest Etch
archs (mipsel/powerpc) and about 32 times slower than the fastest one
(s390). (All accounted for a recent xfree86 oldstable-security build).
