 * milestone:  0.8.+ => 1.0.+


Comment:

 The new config interface actually does a bit better job with reconfigs,
 but there are still problems:
  * reloading/pre-initializing Python from the config file (ugh, and we
 have some fixes)
  * performance / memory consumption -- Buildbot can end up using a lot of
 memory (and whether this is Buildbot or custom modules is unclear - see
 the [tag:performance performance tag]), and restarting the process is a
 great way to flush that.

 So this is still necessary, but less soon.
