[users at bb.net] 0.9.0rc2, multi-master, and anecdotes on reconfig.

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Neil and Pieter,

This is a known problem in buildbot nine that schedulers are not
reconfigurable.
The need to implement the reconfigureService API, which they don't.
This is not a big amount of work, but this has not been done yet.

http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/2237

The workaround is to change the scheduler name so that it is forced
re-created.
Please feel free to dig in the code and submit a PR if this becomes too
annoying.

Regards,
Pierre
