I will cooperate until the end of August, but I consider the suggested
procedure excessively restrictive and not precedent-setting.

If Jenkins build testing does not become stable enough by the end of
August, we should make it optional (until it becomes stable again).


@kinkie, I do not know enough about the root cause of Jenkins failures
to suggest any specific fixes, but, if you have not already, please
consider (temporary) removing some of the Jenkins tests/nodes _if_ doing
so would bring the overall Jenkins stability to acceptable levels. IMHO,
it is better to have one working build test node than ten frequently
failing ones.


Thank you,

Alex.
