Hello Marko, Otto, Kristian, developers,
I share Otto's experience that the changes are hard at first, but the rewards come quickly.
Sporadic test failures get investigated and resolved, or sometimes split out into a non-gating supplemental test-suite.
Developers find sensible solutions.
As Marko illuminates, MariaDB server's development is unusual.
That said, it is slowly shifting towards practices more typical of other FOSS codebases.
It is clear that there will be challenges in implementing an "always be green" policy.
With the challenges in mind, how can we get there?
