Is it possible to make the depth of patches running tests in the gate very shallow during this high-probability of failure time? e.g. Allow only the top 4 to run tests and put the rest in the 'queued' state. Otherwise the already elevated probability of a patch failing is exacerbated by the fact that it gets retested every time a patch ahead of it in the queue fails.
