Thanks Robert for this! That was indeed one of the annoying things and it's great to see that it's gone! My second biggest issue (if you are accepting feature requests :-) ) is this one: sometimes builds stop working because of tests starting to fail (for instance, it happened with the new Qt 5.6 for a couple of packages of mine), or sometimes tests were always flaky and we suddenly decided to fix them for good. In other words, it happens quite often to me to propose merges which affects tests only (no code changes to any installed files), and getting these changes in is IMHO unnecessarily hard. Would it be possible for landers to set a flag on a silo, meaning "this brings no changes to the resulting packages" which lets us bypass any QA (both human and automatic, as Britney can also takes some several days to complete)? Of course, this involves some trust, but it's also easy to find cases where this flag was abused and we should be able to correct the misbehaviour. WDYT?
