Big +1 on that, Oli. In a project with a 5-digit number of packages
it's simply impractical to stop the line every time some regression
happens, especially if it's known and triaged. We have already moved
way too much into the "add manual process and bureaucracy" path of
landing changes, so we already have a very low landing rate. This is
now the anti-thesis of our original "velocity" goal.

I think the compromise of keeping the development series going, but
simply keep daily images as "-proposed" until that is fixed is the
right way forward here.
