+1. I often break gtests when refactoring code, and it would be super
annoying to need to wait to find out about them on try. Given that this
impacts me as a bystander and not someone who runs those tests all the
time, I don't think that the right solution is for me to personally opt-in
to the old behavior in all of my mozconfigs.
