I think this should be standard procedure for anyone working on platform. A 
push to try for a base set of builds (mac, linux, win, b2g ics) plus a good set 
of tests (usually for me it's mochitests) covers things. Once those mostly 
complete I can mark the bug with check-needed and walk away, tree drivers will 
handle the landing when inbound is open and green.
