At the very least I think we would benefit from more cache-clobbering
animals. (It'd be nice to display that flag in the buildfarm dashboard
too ...)

BTW I find it a bit surprising that we have more 8.3 animals than 8.4
... I guess this is just because there's no auto-add of branches to
animals when new major versions are released.
