Great, fine with me.

Noted. Another way to be sure to test the right {topic,base} branch HEAD
commits could also be to simply copy the workspace from the isobuilder
to the isotester. That's something Jenkins knows how to do.

Yes, we had one but not so much concerned people attended.

So please contributors, take some time reading and commenting on this
blueprint. Most of it is a copy of the automated builds one, as it is
the next step in the chain and the previous one defined already most of
our design.

Given it will be deployed in < 2 monthes, it's quite the last moment to
do so, and to make it clear, you won't be able to complain afterward. :)
