If a buildbot is red for a week because of me and another developer commits something that creates another test failure, they won’t see that a buildbot has turned red because it already was. It’s just a temporary edition to avoid polluting the buildbots output. > A "commit adding problem" should be fixed or reverted The point is that fixing it may take tome.
