No, I do not think there is any expectation of that.  The idea of
this file IMO is to record a "blessed" commit which the buildfarm
should compare branch tip to.  Nathan is proposing that the file
should also have the function of recording all previous blessed
commits for historical purposes.  That's not essential but I can
see some value in it.  All it requires from the buildfarm code
is that it take the first non-comment entry in the file.
