He he... to draw a parallel, let's have a look at the QA checks.
QA stuff could be added in the PR machinery, so that if one breaks it,
they have to fix it before merging. Makes it easy and predictable,
identifies who
has to work on it automatically.

Security advisories pop up any time, there is no one on the line to fix
them,
and for a bunch of dependencies we have, fixes are a far cry away from just
changing a pom file. You had an easy run with the Oracle driver upgrade,
others are much more painful (international code sprint grade).
It's true that sometimes it's just a matter of updating a dependency, or
marking
a false positive in the build.

So my observation is, we cannot find the time to look at the build right
now, and
do the easy ones... and the build stays on red. Say someone makes an extra
effort*
to care for the easy ones, and keep the build on green for a bit.
The first hard one to fix one is gonna peg the build on red... and we are
back to square one.

Long story short, the issue IMHO is not having the build, it's finding the
manpower to go after the reports.

Andrea
