[Nix-dev] Zero Hydra Failures (ZHF) project

This sounds like a great initiative. I would be glad to help (feel free to
hand me some tasks).

How many build servers do we currently have? What are their specs?
Would more/better machines be useful/feasible? I'd be willing to donate
about $200/month,
if it'll help. I would imagine there are companies that would be willing to
chip in too
(if that's not the case, we need to fix that).
