We could in-principle build these in the same manner, the automation should
cope.  This is however a very active tree so we would be talking about
a new build every day pretty much.  It cirtainly would not be practicle
to keep all of them.  We could consider keeping just the last couple, or
perhaps build the latest once per week or something?
