And it's not about shaming - it's about making people (both the developer and others) aware of these mismatches so that they can be corrected. When try high score came out, we noticed that a huge amount of try infrastructure was being used by b2g devs on |-p all -u all| try runs for code that wasn't run on 95% of the jobs they were triggering. When we inquired about it, it turns out that these devs were targeting devices that weren't supported by try syntax, and were told to "just use full try runs for now". Once the problem was in plain view, it got fixed much more quickly than it probably would have otherwise. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
