Indeed I saw that thread - I think I'm proposing something slightly
different, or perhaps 'gate blocking' needs clearing up. Which is -
that once we have sufficient evidence to believe there is a
nondeterministic bug in trunk, whether or not the gate is obviously
suffering, we should consider it critical immediately. I don't think
we need 24h action on such bugs at that stage - gate blocking zomg
issues obviously do though!

The goal here would be to drive the steady state of 'recheck needed'
so low that most people never encounter it. And break the social
pattern that has been building up.
