And for the record, I do agree with this. I think a historic problem
is the results have never been public enough to most developers, and
unfortunately not everyone is trained to respond to just the emails
sent to ghc-builds at haskell.org to diagnose a problem. Seeing a
gigantic angry red build failure that blames you directly is likely
much easier to for most people as opposed to sorting through emails
from bots every morning.
