Over in bug 796087, I'm proposing for us to remove the -t all try server
flag.  The rationale is that the set of Talos tests vary greatly and most
of the people who test performance are only interested in a subset of Talos
tests.  So I'm suggesting that we should disallow -t all as it is a very
easy way to consume a lot of infrastructure resources that one most likely
does not need.  As philor mentioned in the bug, there are platforms such as
mobile where Talos is more than merely a performance test, and in those
platforms developers can use -t foo,bar,baz to run multiple Talos suites
(or all of them for that matter).

This will make it a bit more verbose to run all of the Talos tests if
that's what you're looking for, but for the majority of pushes that should
not be a burden, and the ability of actually running all Talos suites will
remain intact with the more verbose syntax.

Does anybody have an objection about this?

Thanks!
