I think this is a good suggestion -- testers including myself may not
have time or CPU bandwidth to be running multiple builds every week.
My original thought was that the testing branch does not get moved
until everything builds, but that is probably not reasonable.  If we
list last good build for each combination, and move the testing branch
when most of the combinations build, that is probably the best we can
do.

I have updated http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Testing to
reflect these thoughts.

Thanks,
Cliff
