As it stands builders reporting builds for unsupported platforms make the default buildbot (waterfall) view noisy.

To handle this Zooko does the following:

contact the volunteer buildslave owner
- tell that owner we no longer wish to support the platform
- ask the owner if they'd volunteer to support a different (newer?) platform
reconfigure the buildmaster to not order the unsupported platform builds, and perhaps to support the new platform

Nejucomo points out that a policy that changes the default view to automatically exclude unsupported builders might be a good optimization.
