 Buildbot's code is written in a manner such that base classes are referred
 to explicitly.

 For people used to writing super() to do the same,and extending one of
 Buildbot's classes, the debugging is a pain, since buildbot emits all
 kinds of incomprehensible error messages.

 Shouldn't the buildbot's code also refer to the base class via super() ?
