Then the Powers That Be press Ctrl-C on the CI and the person who wrote the change is gone for the weekend. As that Ctrl-C thing or other silly reasons for the CI to fail integrating a change are fairly frequent I like to at least know about that, so that I can decide if I'll just restage the change.

+1, especially because the silly-failure v.s. success ratio is 2:1 at best.
