Hi Ben,

I at least consider the CI system we have as super important and I'm 
super happy with it and extremely thankful for all the work you and the 
other sysadmins put into it. Given that I would find it sad if it were 
shut down because some devs are not playing along. Given the thread and 
what I read we seem to have here a case where a dev pushed a broken 
change without code review. That's IMHO not how we work in KDE. I don't 
think the complete community should be punished for misbehavior of some.

My suggestion is that you get the right to revert broken changes. If it 
holds back everything and you sent a mail, what else should you do?

Cheers
Martin
