Comment (by mojca@…):

 Yes, I had a separate keyword in mind, for example
 {{{
 buildbot.skip
 }}}

 Maybe not a keyword for this exclusively, but there might be other things
 which could be useful to assist the buildbot. I'm not sure what that could
 be at the moment, but the first example that comes to mind would be
 {{{
 buildbot.variant +quartz
 buildbot.variant +x11
 }}}
 to request from the buildbot to build with both {{{+x11}}} and
 {{{+quartz}}}. Before #35897 gets implemented, this could be used to build
 {{{qt4-mac +universal}}} and other special cases that justify the extra
 building time.

 I know it sounds a bit insane, but ...

 (Why has the other ticket been open for so long? Maybe now that buildbots
 exist, this would be another reason to fix this.)
