Yes.  I think it’s good that qa.guix.gnu.org and the corresponding
process (info "(guix) Managing Patches and Branches") brings some
structure and legibility on the scheduling of branch merges—before that
it was the wild west and there was no shared vision on who could merge
what when.

But we also need more flexibility, in particular the ability to say
“this branch is ready so it should be merged now”.  Could we provide a
way to change the order of branches shown by qa.guix.gnu.org?

The reason we have two build farms is historical (software, funding, and
administration were/are different).  It has pros (allows us to test
package reproducibility and to have some redundancy) and cons (twice the
maintenance effort).

But I don’t think it’s central to the problem we’re seeing here.
