Schedules don't have minds - people do, ideally. If I read the above correctly, the logic was: - We don't have time to support breakages, so we don't want to have breakages. - We tell people not to build in the side-tag, consequently we have no breakages. We made the toolchain deadline, hooray! While "no builds => no breakages" sounds ingenious, it defers all problems to after the side-tag merge. It may or may not be that that's the intention of the toolchain deadline. It may actually work this way, but only if only one party is doing that. As soon as we have two changes, picking breakages apart and resolving them will be tedious. That's why we have side-tags in order to isolate the effects of different changes.
