Hi, thank you for this short and fresh review. Your help is welcome at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T597, where we are trying to identify
blockers for using Arcanist, so we can discuss them and address them
effectively.

Meanwhile, some comments here.

Having seen how users struggle installing git-review and dependencies in
their environments, I'm not sure this is a bad idea. Plus, I guess it makes
updating to master pretty easy as well?

Sounds like a good practice to me. Worst case scenario, type "I didn't test
this patch at all."

Neither should you, that is the point of code review. Then again, if there
is no workaround for this, it might be a blocker for urgent Ops deployments
(where we see many self-merged patches) and one-person projects. If this is
the case, please create a blocker for T597 so we can discuss it in detail.
