Right, we now have a running Build Service instance but we still have to
do some fine-tuning and a bit of customization (even though I'm pretty
much through now).

We now have to migrate at least the most essential packages to there,
which means a lot of rebuilds ;)

Once that is done, we could easily provide packages for Factory (even
though Factory snapshots probably make a lot more sense) from a
technical POV, but we'll have to see whether it's feasible in practice,
as we would probably need more hardware resources.

Right, 11.2 shouldn't be too much of a problem when it's released. Worst
case, we stop building for 10.3.
