I think that even if we set up using buildbot it would be temporary, as
our build system will presumably change once we're in the monorepo. I
went with doing it this way instead because for now it seemed like the
easiest way to get testing up and running as soon as possible.

Once we're in the monorepo presumably we can use some of the existing
buildbots, or add "unstable" buildbots since we probably don't want
something as fast-moving as f18 being built by the "main" ones. I was
rather saying here that we didn't want to provision our own machines
for a temporary solution just for f18.

I agree with Alexis that getting F18 into the monorepo (as Flang) and
then setting up testing within the existing LLVM infrastructure as our
permanent solution would be the ideal, I'm just proposing this as an
easy stop-gap until we get there.
