As far as this "explicitly acknowledging", I'd note that not long
ago I edited https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tree_Rules/Inbound to reflect
what I think represented rough consensus from a previous discussion
on this topic, by adding the parenthetical in the following item:

  #  Inbound is no replacement for Try. You still need to test your
  #  patches before pushing. (This doesn't mean that you need an
  #  all-platforms try run for every patch. But it does mean that
  #  you should do enough testing so that you rarely cause red or
  #  orange on mozilla-inbound. But breaking it rarely is ok. Never
  #  missing a plane means you're spending too much time in
  #  airports; never breaking the tree means you're running too many
  #  tests before landing.) 

Probably too wordy, but I didn't see a good way to shorten.

I'd be happy for it to be more explicit regarding what you said, but
when I wrote it, I didn't feel like it represented our consensus.
