Anything that alerts on breakage is pretty much equivalent to having a
buildfarm animal.
I have a feeling that there are going to be real problems with
alerting, at least if it's introduced right away. I'd feel much better
about it if there was an existing body of suppressions, that more or
less worked as a reference of agreed upon best practices. Can we do
that part first, rather than starting out with a blanket assumption
that everything that happened before now must have been perfect?
