My proposal was: we take the latest inbound that does not have test
failures and therefore we can be confident the build is fine.

That said, I now remember that intermittent failures is a reality, so
this may not be that easy.

I still feel this would be bad. I mean, not necessarily bad for us core
contributors (although I'm not sure of that either), but it will be bad
for occasional contributors.

This works for Android because, well, they don't have much external
contributions, and tend to discourage this.
We want to do the opposite, and I think that having everything in one
repo won't help this.
