Well the microsecond timer was announced to the dev list in early january, discussed by some people
altered, then pushed as a commit (again email) April 1st. etc etc.  Some parties claim they missed the
activity. 

However this goes all the way back to Ken Beck's discussion of having a publicly visible SUnit test machine 
that flags when a person sticks something into the production queue as being faulty. 

In this case I'd agree having a  server farm to run the platform compiles to ensure everything compiles after changes
to SVN or to VMMaker would make sense. Sometimes It's difficult to determine if a change will impact other platforms.
