Yeah it would be useful to know it. I don't mind having them in the
tinderbox... I guess I just don't want to consider these high priority
blockers, as build issues on the platform modules should be considered,
otherwise it would end up being too much of a time sink for me.

New users will have to build base unless they have rawhide or
equivalent. I think for base modules we should really use stable
revisions or tarballs by default, to avoid the head issues.
