Also for the record buildbot v0.7.10 apparently fixes that problem  
[1], so if you upgrade to buildbot v0.7.10 you don't need to change  
that setting (but it wouldn't hurt to change that setting).

Okay, after we see if Ruben's buildbot can also be promoted then I'll  
do the promotions in one batch.

It would be nice if someone would contribute a buildbot on a nice  
fast machine which is running Ubuntu Dapper.  :-)
