It's possible.  I need to get the robot polling travis correctly still.

At the moment it can poll, but we don't have enough of the data
recorded.  It's coming though.

One thing I notice is that some of the tests are still failing
'sporadically' and that's difficult to discern.  So we might just use
the robot as 'warn' rather than 'error' for now and maintainers will
have to make a best determination.
