Oh *PLEASE* never report a branch as building if there's errors.
It could be I (force) push a branch multiple times before I get any
0day reports back (0day has gotten *soooo* slow) so I only ever look at
the latest report -- possibly days later.

If you then falsly report the branch as being good, because you're
suppressing errors, things *will* go bad.
