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,
