Sure.  But you're just describing why tests are useful and an absolute

ask that is not really attainable.

I think what Bobby was actually asking for is this:

If a patch lands and is green in continuous integration but then we have some other tests somewhere (hidden, run manually, whatever) that start failing because of this patch, and we deem those failures sufficiently dire to back out the patch, then the owners of these secret-but-critical tests should share some responsibility for enabling the patch to reland. Not least because otherwise it's not clear how to proceed.

Certainly that's what _I_ want.
