We are waiting for two new Novena boards that should arrive before the
end of the year. The current bottleneck is not the build machines, but hydra;
already now the build farm could sustain more jobs in parallel, but we
artificially limit them. So I would say that there is currently no need
to add more build machines. This may change if we get a physical machine
for hydra.
