This is false, for the record.  No Ubuntu release in recent memory has had
the build failure count across the full archive reduced to zero at time of
release.  The target is that we have the list of known build failures at
zero for main at release time; having it at zero for the full archive would
require a much more drastic policy regarding removals.
