Due to a recent change in position, I am now in the position to host
buildfarm animals. Are there any configurations that don't have any
testing or enough testing? Perhaps something valgrind related? Let me
know!

One silly thing I think is uncovered is whether a production
build (*without* cassert or debug) gets any compiler warnings.
We've so often written code that will generate "unused variable"
or similar complaints if assertions are off, yet nobody notices
that till well after commit. Developers are unlikely to test
that way, and there are next to no BF animals that do either.
