Some of the integration repos were deleted (e.g. jdk/hs-comp, tl), but 
the master repos for a release remain. Consequently, the last hgupdater 
link should still be valid. Under old model (and still today for client 
fix), there is a first hgupdater comment when a fix is pushed to an 
integration repo (marker fixed in build value "team") and a final 
hgupdate comment when the fix goes into the master repo (marker fixed in 
build value "master").
