yes, totally.

/me nods, though I'm not too worried about this: a.) we should start with 
unstable only b.) some delay (in armhf) is acceptable as long as amd64 is 
build soon after uploads (and we can schedule interesting armhf packages 
manually too) c.) I'm sure we can add more nodes easily. I also have idling 
arm hw....

that's totally cool! You'll need to tell the name of that proxy eventually :-)
