Cool -- do I send my shipping address to you? :-)

How can you make such an expectation?


I don't know what the answer is.  We are really caught between a rock and a
hard spot.  The current path leads to each committer holding a private list
of exclude tests.  Then when someone says your last mod breaks on my
machine, we do a rollback to a stable revision.  And then sort of kind of
let someone else with different hardware try to fix the patch, commit then
wait to see if anyone complains.
