Oh ok. There is an old debate about differences between GitHub Actions and Buildbots: * Buildbots run the test suite with "-u all" option. On Windows, Python is built in debug mode. * GHA uses "-u all,-cpu". On Windows, Python is built in release mode (I think that changed last change after the 3rd buildbot failure not catched by GHA but buildbots). A small number of regressions are not catched by GHA because of these minor differences. It's a trade-off to keep the workflow efficient (be able to merge a PR as soon as possible). I'm fine with this trade-off. But we must keep an eye on buildbots, otherwise more changes are merged on top of the change introducing the regression. -- If you consider that GHA are enough to prevent regressions for Tier 1, does it mean that the "macOS" job must become mandatory? It's a x86_64 platform. In my experience, this job is too slow and less reliable than other GHA jobs. Maybe macOS should be pushed to Tier 2. Fixing all macOS before a Python release is fine. But during the devcycle, sometimes there are no enough available core devs to fix macOS specific issues. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm talking about the strong Tier 1 requirements about the short delay to fix a regression, or revert. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
