I don't think it would hurt to run tests on the latest revisions coming out. What might be more useful (and more complicated) is to automate the building then running of popular windows programs on the latest versions. When a failure is detected you could then run an automated regression test to find the bad patch and submit it.

Right, sorry, didn't mean to make it seem like there was nothing in place already. Buildbot just seems more easily extensible.

--Buildbot-- To keep from seeming pedantic, I'll be brief with this one. Automating testing suites are awesome and help keep down the number of bugs/regressions that pop up. It'd be really cool if Wine had something like this.
To be clear, Wine *does* have something like this already, but it's kind of fragmented, and only a few people know how to run all the pieces. The value of Buildbot might be that it's a popular system, so more people will be able to participate in running more pieces of, and adding to, our automated build & test.

Sorry about the confusion!
