I also would like to note that existence of MIPS bot does not oblige JSC developers who don't work on MIPS to keep it green, e.g. by implementing missing MacroAssembler functions. However, having such bot might be useful in case of refactorings which involve moving MIPS code around, which already happened in the past.
