I think it would be helpful to start fully building the branch even if there are still some large parts of the tree that don't build. That's because of Rust: it takes a very long time (days?) to build Rust, and so people won't even be able to start testing their leaf packages, many of which depend on Rust at this point. I know it has been built for this branch in recent weeks, but I guess it was garbage collected. I thought about building the packages "by hand" and setting up a gcroot manually, but it would be nice to work within the CI infrastructure.
