Could you push the build failled on the arm ML or a specific ML
I'm really intresting I hate to brake platform support specialy yours

We can have enforce policy if some brake something again and agian we can do
as Greg did for one of the Linaro dev. Force the patch to be double check by a
senior Maintainter.
And I think it will help Maintainer (Specially subsystem) to detect runtime
bug when applying code they can not test
So I really hope we could change this and make it work
Maybe as you rsaid it will not work but I'm willing to try one more time
