If someone is multi-arching a target and accidently breaks it (even though before/after tests showed no problems) then I consider that acceptable risk. (It is a testsuite bug right :-) If a change is more technical then tableing it for a few days wouldn't hurt. However, in the end I think us as maintainers need to show confidence in the person doing the work and give them a free hand. enjoy, Andrew
