You won't end up with -1's everywhere, you'll end up with jobs stuck in
the queue indefinitely, as we saw when the tripleo cloud failed
recently.  What's worse is that now that positive check results are
required for enqueuing into the gate, you will also not be able to merge
anything.

Great! :)

Until the tripleo cloud is multi-region, HA, and has a proven track
record of reliability, we can't have jobs that run on its nodes in any
pipeline for any non-tripleo project, for those reasons.  I do look
forward to when that is the case.
