I believe I mentioned this to Luke on our call on Tuesday... actually
I think it was Wednesday as Tuesday was the OpenPOWER conference.
Regardless, I suggested that we should do a review of our
infrastructure after the tapeout deadline, in order to set ourselves
up for success for the year (or more) to come of development. That
includes our server setup, and very importantly the migration of our
git and bugzilla infrastructure to an offline capable decentralized
git-like service, which I'm currently forgetting the name of so please
kindly remind me Luke.

I think there already exist several bugs for this marked as deferred,
so I would suggest we do a review of deferred bugs after the tapeout
deadline.
