 Version:  0.8.1        |    Keywords:  database reconfig
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 A few alternatives to reconfiguration came up in IRC.

 One particularly attractive model is to treat a reconfig as a time to spin
 up a new member of the master pool, then gracefully disconnect each slave
 on the "retiring" master when it finishes a build.

 This obviously has a lot of prerequisites, but it would be a great model:
  * fully db-based
  * fully-baked master failover support
  * abstracted status so you're not looking at two web statuses during the
 changeover
