I’ve not been directly involved with the whole commit/testing procedure, so 
excuse me if I’m misreading anything..

If it fails the tests, how was it released? I understand the whole reduced 
transparency/communications thing, it’s an unfortunate necessity of dealing 
with security issues. I can’t see how that excludes the testing carried out by 
the Test Suite though?

Kind regards,
