using https://treestatus.mozilla.org/mozilla-inbound, I looked at the reasons 
for tree closures (usually associated with backouts), going back to 50 status 
messages, I found:
38 test issues
14 build issues
9  infrastructure issues
2  other issues

Note, some of these closures had >1 issue documented.

Questions to ask would be:
* How many of these build issues would have been resolved by a developer 
building locally?
* How many of these test issues would have been resolved by a developer running 
a simple smoketest (i.e. <5 minutes)?

I agree that running on try server over and over again is just pushing the 
resource problem from a managed tree to an unmanaged tree.
