That's not true, we were in that state once, before I stopped working on this

It’s self-correcting too. Turn on auto land and require a green build to land
a patch. I’m certain that the number of intermittent failures will drop
dramatically.
Code in mozilla-central has passed a human sheriff's analysis of TBPL
results from mozilla-inbound. Someone could continuously run tests on a
good snapshot of mozilla-central (or the well-tested mozilla-release
branch) for 24 hours to determine the degree that individual test cases
are solid green or shades of orange. Draw a line in the sand declaring
the solid greens as never intermittent and must-be-green on
mozilla-inbound. After fixing all the oranges, rinse and repeat with
roc's Chaos Mode enabled! :)
Note that this suggestion does not require mozilla-central to be frozen
from checkins.
