But isn't this why we have the feature of choosing which tests to run on tryserver? Of course, any time you turn off any test, or any platform, you run the risk of not finding out you broke something until you push to inbound. But we've deemed the cost savings of running fewer try servers worth it. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
