Now that v17 is open, I was looking at v8 posted at [1] and I don't
have much more to add about it.  The problem about the lack of
buildfarm machine is still annoying, but I don't see a reason not to
move forward and let people play with this stuff on HEAD.  At least
that would be progress.  Any thoughts?

Thomas, what's the state of ARM support for Windows on Azure?  Is that
still in preview?
