It is – I'm not denying that. However, it is difficult to implement.

I had a stab at it a while back and realised that I don't have time for
a proper solution. In essence, you have to completely decouple the
events "push to testboard" and "build change" and implement some glue
logic both on the server and on the client side.

If anyone wants to attempt it, I'm happy to explain how it should be
implemented.
