It means that I'm much more likely to cause regressions because I miss new
test failures caused by my changes among the 12 to 62 failures
already occurring on the OS X bots.
I think there are a few solutions to the current situation:
1. Live with it. All of the red and green reminds us of the festive winter
holidays.
Downside: More regressions get in as nobody notices them much even if
they try to be careful.
Upside: Requires no more extra work, so it is quick to do!
2. Get folks working on every red test.
Downside: May not be able to get folks to drop what they are doing and
work on them.
Upside: More stable code, easier to work with, etc.
3. Add them to skipped and file bugs.
Downside: Not having the tree red may lower the urgency and having them
in skipped list may mean that folks just ignore them.
Upside: We'll catch regressions more quickly and perhaps stop the
current decent which it seems like we've been proceeding on.
4. Your idea!
What do other folks think?
