Pouncing on devs should never be acceptable... unless a robot is doing it!

In all seriousness, while I'm fully on the "The way to make a program
faster is to never let it get slower." [1] boat we don't have the
infrastructure (yet) to back that claim.
Even extra cautious devs like Justin (who ran raptor tests locally) get
noisy results from the latest gecko regression.

My point is, we can cheerfully talk between humans, make compromises and
change course.
Or we can have bots doing aggressive backouts / pre-landing checks (here's
a nice read for the weekend [2]).

But aggressive email exchanges between team members won't make our phones
any better.

PS: Eli's original message was super nice and useful and I know the raptor
team is working really hard to automate more of this! <3
