  Some more discussion happened on the revert change 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/841159
  
  @Mabualruz about your change 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/838733 , it did pass on 
October 6th at 7:40 UTC.  But that result is almost instantly obsolete since we 
trigger jobs which clone multiple repositories. Thus as code is being merged in 
eg ContentTranslation, another run of CI would lead to different results which 
is what happened in this case.
  
  When a code causes a test to fail, every repositories relying on this cause 
ends up broken. In this case it affected a Selenium job which is shared by 
roughly 60 repositories (list at T320471#8306725 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320471#8306725>). Which mean no changes 
made to this repositories can be merged which is thus blocking a lot of people. 
  The policy we have is to revert immediately to unbreak CI given code can 
always be proposed again.  In this case it additionally blocked the MediaWiki 
train :)
  
  Most probably one could have reached out directly to you to have some 
synchronization and maybe a hot fix would have been easy to do. Then in most 
case who ever are presents at the time on IRC would take the easy path: revert 
and resolve the issue immediately then investigate for a proper patch later on. 
The aim is really to unblock everyone.
  
  Also Gerrit should not let us submit changes manually, that is T226123: Make 
test pipline vote Verified+1 instead of +2 to avoid unintentional submit 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226123> which would probably remove the 
Submit permission entirely.
