Thanks. I saw the release listed after a couple of days of
hibernation, and that one week went by since, so I thought that the
timing was pretty good. I did not check the buildfarm members though,
sorry about that.

Would it be better if I just revert the change for now then and do it
again in one/two weeks? The buildfarm is green, so keeping things as
they are does not sound like a huge deal to me, either, for this
case.

FWIW, I have already switched my own animal to use the newest
buildfarm client.
