But really, it illustrates the problem: Alexandre does not trust the new test bot results, so he did not wait for testbot review of patches, and so he did not catch a problem. We need to restore that trust. That's why this matters.
I'm not going to argue about the basic point, but I don't think it's all that clear that some of the tests timing out on occasion is really about the tests themselves, as opposed to the testbot infrastructure.
I asked Alexandre, and he thought that this one might be a fair cop; not just an infrastructure failure, but a real failure that should have been caught.
But you are right that the infrastructure instability makes it very difficult to do any real work against the failing test list. My hope is that it's close enough now that we can, by trying to fix tests, more clearly identify the remaining issues and resolve them.
And I also felt remiss in failing to shame *anyone* <grin>.
