Does this *really* matter? If we miss some patches, then WRT will just rebuild when it finishes the current cycle. The resulting binaries would be published once it done.
Yes, it does matter, and it's rather important. The test cycle is non-trivial, as I've already noted. It will take many hours to distribute and run the tests. The clients can (and most likely) will schedule their local daemons to run only during certain timeframes (when they don't use their boxes). This means that we can expect a full test cycle to take close to 24h. I don't want to have some clients go off and test on a spurious build. We have _one_ shot per day for a build, and it better be the right one.

This is of course all UK local time. Do you mean 4am in one of the US-time-zones? (=> ~ 9am-11am or so?).
Yes, I meant EST. Or, as you can see from your graph, 10am GMT is perfect.
