While I very much support a "should" statement (or just acknowledging that the PMCs can use failing tests as a reason to -1 which afaik was already the case), a "must" statement seems like we could get in a pickle quite easily in the case of critical bugs or security vulnerabilities. I like everything else about the proposal, and I like the idea of using circle pre-commit to catch obviously broken stuff and the full asf build for post merge validation. I am not in favor of removing the project's capability to cut a release. -Joey
