 Replying to [comment:1 Sebastian]:
 > There might be harddisk issues, in case we want to archive the builds.

 How long would we want to keep a nightly build?  Wouldn't it be sufficient
 to keep it until the next build is there?

 > There are some issues where VMs can't talk directly to each other which
 we'd have to fix.

 Can you explain why VMs have to talk directly to each other for nightly
 builds?  Which VMs are these, and what do you think is the problem?  Would
 we want to wait to fix this until we have funding for nightly builds, or
 is this something we should fix anyway?

 > Both seem entirely fixable tho, and definitely with sponsor money. Other
 than that, we should be able to propose that to a funder.

 Okay.
