Yes, I did follow-up with Tom.  I'll do so again, as the discussion had

I don't believe they would be terribly useful as buildfarm systems; we
could set up similar systems with VMs to just run the regression tests.
Where I see these systems being particularly valuable would be as the
start of our performance farm, and perhaps one of the systems as a PG
infrastructure server.
