To call out this point explicitly.
I'm not convinced that folding it into m-c is the necessary way forward,
and I think before folding in any other of our "stable" but
external-to-m-c repos we should start a community discussion on general
guidelines as to why/why not we would do that, and THEN evaluate those
against WHY we want talos, what goals are we solving, etc.
I don't feel that "reduce developer barriers to understanding what a
particular Talos test result means." is helped by this, if you [anyone]
thinks so, can you try to articulate why here in this thread?
[I note that myself and jhammel at least were discussing this in the bug
about moving talos to m-c as well, which we both agree does not belong
as an in-bug discussion -- and I do feel the move, if the talos module
owner feels is necessary should not get blocked on a need for an
external process, but I do feel we should think hard on this]
I have distilled the gist of what I have to say on this subject in
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787200#c29>. While
discussing a global strategy might be interesting, I am not really
interested in that, since I don't believe that it will actually result
in any concrete results as it is too abstract, and more importantly I
don't believe that the question at hand requires us to have a global
policy covering all of the future similar cases.
I would appreciate if you or someone else who's interested in that
discussion would start it in the appropriate forum. :-)
Thanks!
