This will allow to move on and get some experience. And then improve gradually. The person who wishes to merge can start the workflow on a need-basis then. > An annoyance I have with our GitHub Actions as opposed to the Travis CI config is that at the moment a failure in GitHub Actions needs all tasks to be re-run, whereas Travis allows for retriggering the failing test only. (At least I've never found a way to retrigger part of a GH workflow?). So, the tests on Travis that have a tendency to fail at random would definitely be good ones to move off PR testing. Let's try and keep PR tests to the ones where going red is a sign of serious issue. I'm certainly a fan of no merging until green! But that can be a little awkward right now. Speaking of that I've experienced _intermittent_ problems with the Ant [DownloadBinaries ](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nbbuild/antsrc/org/netbeans/nbbuild/extlibs/DownloadBinaries.java) task when executed in GA. Part of the problem is that the task seems to swallow some exceptions which makes it hard to debug. And yes, I too have been annoyed by the need-to-rerun-all-jobs.
