Improving bisectability would obviously help with other testing efforts too - we have existing users, Guillaume Tucker implemented automated bisection support in KernelCI which is incredibly useful providing one can actually bisect. Right now it works pretty well a lot of the time but there are cases where it gets messy, especially when you add boot issues onto the buildability ones. --hABqaeELJqnDDeDE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAluPv+oACgkQJNaLcl1U h9BBZwf6AriMg8QWw64DE76/kUhR+zdgrdfYEaQ+M7K+ZG97mKS1j6qJJEpzGg4m CK3FD5HWP/VEyEXt88imJm8KfaFI46HNzmt17uCQwOaHckDDE88LChNUza4HFxsi e6f622oeGhojd84K3eyt0TwIZJnG2uv8b74cVDJPq4Y6sb6sFaQnHeUrRYXEf9MN h6Wj2b5EM2g1cz//PuBdjVs47bU+s1eGWKTJKj0MiwB+T9REVf+adPe/Gwt0DEwL 35wnWHlAjaBeP6gXCuJcSHzf3+sqKJw6pR2OTLO2vHUXfOCn4u5qnq9NlOl4AX/X WRFBBHO4RrUv9U+dobW6V3+Fy7Jrwg== =uacL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hABqaeELJqnDDeDE--
