Thanks for doing this!
I think we can be rather strict. If a human is doing a lot of work, we
can ask him to try again in 4 hours. And send us a message that this
happened, so that we can tune the limit. Perhaps for specific cases.
Please send me a diff of the changes you made (or the new files)
privately. Otherwise a sync from my side might overwrite your changes.
Cc John Beckett, he is also keeping an eye on things.
