So maybe we could do the following: * move projects to gitbox rather than using git-wip, this would allow us to leverage github PR * set up CI builds to run a full build on all PR For the move, we just need to ask infra about it. It just makes things easier to deal with and provide a more native github integration. I'd like to setup CI builds for SSHD anyway, so once that's done, it should be easy to do the same for other projects.
