The first few lightning deploys could have been covered by an
infrastructure which tested for CSS regressions. I started an e-mail
thread which got some interesting replies so I think we should
investigate that as a spike [1].

This latest one is kind of weird and I'm not sure how a test could
accurately solve it, but in theory this was a result of sloppiness,
shouldn't happen often and should have been caught in code review.

On the plus side, we are catching more bugs earlier with our browser
automation tests and I feel confident that we will be needing less of
these. :)
