Just about any time we Gerrit admins have decided to bypass testing
to merge some change (and to be clear, we really don't like to if we
can avoid it), we introduce a new test-breaking bug we then need to
troubleshoot and fix. It's a humbling reminder that even though you
may feel absolutely sure something's safe to merge without passing
tests, you're probably wrong.
