* `ios` (alias for `darwin-arm64`)
We might add more aliases later.
For the main Go repository, the terms after `TRY=` can also be:
* `x/repo` (where `repo` is one of the golang.org/x repositories whose tests should be executed)
When running TryBots again later, the most recent `TRY=` comment on the current patchset is used. To turn it off set `TRY=` with an empty string after the equals sign. If the current patchset doesn't have a `TRY=` comment, the most recent non-empty `TRY=` comment is used.

## TODO
Yes, the usability of SlowBots isn't great yet. It was added where it was most convenient. It needs to report things better, make it easier to configure (both CLI and probably a web GUI picker UI), and support restarting things, or modifying in-progress TryBot runs to change the set of builders. Feedback welcome at [golang.org/issue/34501](https://golang.org/issue/34501).
- Allow selecting a builder other than `linux-amd64` for x/REPO queries ([golang.org/issue/39201](https://golang.org/issue/39201)).
The usability of SlowBots will be improved over time. It needs to report things better, make it easier to configure (both CLI and probably a web GUI picker UI), and support restarting things, or modifying in-progress TryBot runs to change the set of builders.
