Hi Eric,
Many apologies for the redness. These changes are pretty much
complete now, so hopefully there shouldn't be any more big file moves
like this too soon.
One thing that was hugely useful in minimizing the breakage as much as
possible while making these changes was the ews bots – these generally
helped me to get my patches building cleanly on all platforms bar
Windows before committing. It is a real shame that an ews bot isn't
available for Windows, since this would be particularly useful - JSC
changes frequently break Windows builds due to the .def files.
I believe a big problem that caused the extended periods of redness
was the slowness of the Windows test queues. These can lag badly
behind the builds, making failures here very are easy to miss - having
landed a large change, and waited to watch the waterfall stay green
for an extended period of time, it was easy to be under the
misapprehension that everything was okay. Only later would I discover
windows test had started to fail. Clearly there is a lesson I've
learned here, but maybe we can find some more hardware to throw at
these queues, to help them avoid getting quite so far behind.
cheers,
G.

A large portion of the tree redness in the last 3 days is due to JSC

We need to build some better tools, or find some better method to land
these changes w/o hosing the tree. I'm happy to help with building of
said tools if folks have requests/suggestions.

Re-broke in 57879 Fixes: 57883, 57884

Getting 57829 landed resulted in nearly a full work-day of tree
redness. :( Also, even once a change is fixed, it will take 15 mins
or so for all the bots to cycle green.
