[Buildbot-devel] status changes == source changes?

[A.T.Hofkamp]

Hello all,

While browsing through the buildbot source code, I noticed that the status 
from builders to status output is transfered using method-calls.

Wouldn't it be an alternative to view this output as yet another source of 
changes, and then send messages between both parties, just like messages get 
sent (and queue-ed) between source change, schedulers, and builders?

We would then be able to collapse the status output infra structure and the 
builder infra structure together into a single mechanism.

Would this be a good idea?
