I think you might get an idea of whether committing from a PR based on eyeballing it and the CI output (without locally building it and looking it over in detail in the work directory) is working based on how many fixes have to be done (usually by Ryan) to the ports after they are initially committed. Surgeons say 90% of the appys they remove should be pathological, and 10% or so normal. That’s probably not a bad average to aim for... Best, Ken
