It's not just the the value of sheriff time vs infra cost, it's the
delta cost to other developers who end up waiting longer in Try/etc
queues before *they* can land.  When you fairly often see 4/6/12 or ever
18/24 hour turnarounds on Try, anything that noticably ups the load on
infra when there's a low chance of catching something is a bad trade.
Of course, this depends on the devs being smart about what they skip
try/autoland on (for example, nit-fix changes are a good choice - usually).
