Part of the problem with the Windows build is that developers upgrade dependencies to meeting the trunk recommendations/requirements. Then the new versions aren't supported by the old releases. The build bots have exactly the same problem. Our response to this has been to simply turn off the features that require the dependencies. If we were to setup a guest VM for each branch with stable dependencies that match either the version that ships with a given target OS or that matches our recommended version, then this would probably be fine. Combine this with the buildbot actually running every test, (fs x ra) + bindings, would actually give me more confidence in the build bot tests than us individually running tests. Not so much because I don't trust us as because I know not everyone is running absolutely every test.
