We shouldn't sacrifice correctness for performance. The tests need to run against what has been committed to the trunk branch. Otherwise the onus is on the contributor and committer to make sure that the PR branch is up to date enough. I never found that the limiting factor in merging a PR to Apache Kafka is the build times. The limiting factor is committer review time. Thanks, -- -José
