This was a change that was intentionally backpatched in a different way in

Excellent! But an example like this presumably helps make Tom’s case that each
branch could have a file that suggests which commit to use as the base for
comparison, so that in this example it could be set to 344662848ac and the
failures would go away. As it is, they will persist until a new tag is added or
one overrides the base in the build farm client config.
I don't think we need any ABI checking until there is a dot-0 release,
so I don't agree that a facility like that is needed. Just compare
against the previous release tag.
