Sadly, I'm not sure that a regular contributor is enough to get fixes merged even fixes are written. Maybe it's better to require one core dev per Tier 3 platform. What if tomorrow someone sets up a MinGW buildbot. Is it enough to promote MinGW as Tier 3? There are many MinGW patches awaiting in the bug tracker for *years* and nobody is available to review and merged them. (I didn't check recently, maybe some of them have been merged in the meanwhile?) For the buildbot, IMO it's important that the whole test suite pass. I'm fine with skipping a large number of tests. But a single failure makes a buildbot really annoying, barely usuable, because buildbots are unable to say if a change adds more errors than previously. It's a boolean: either all tests pass, or "at least one test fails": you have to dig into logs to know the exact number :-( Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
